It's obvious when I look at this list and see things like
the FDDI MIB on it that we cannot confine the poll on usage
to the small world of the IETF. Most Boeing 777 aircraft still
use FDDI, for example; I have no idea whether the MIB flies with
them, but I'd hate us to obsolete it without being certain.

Gory details:

I think we are really going to need a widely advertised
public comment period for the final list.
