This discussion was actually triggered by IANA when it tried to figure 
out the registration procedures for SMI SNMPv2 snmpModules Codes 
registry ... in relation to this draft. The MIB doctors and I were involved.

I share the pain, trust me.

I don't know what I don't know.
However, when a problem is discovered, it's generally solved. In this 
case, see the update at 
http://www.iana.org/assignments/smi-numbers/smi-numbers.xhtml#smi-number 
s-61, e.g. "[No more registrations accepted ]"
