In which scenarios do you consider it very useful?

I am not at all saying that it is not useful.  Still, I want to learn
about where and how it would be required. And I am not sure if ISMS is
the right place for this discussion.

It would already be a nice achievement if the ISMS WG solves the
problem of integrating the existing SNMP into user and key
management systems.
