If Marshall (as the NM Area Chair) is agreeing for us to wait on v2
then I agree to wait on a MUST SNMPv2.  I suggest therefore:

    You MAY implement SNMPv2.  You MUST continue to implement SNMPv1 at
    that point (e.g. be an SNMPv2 "bilingual agent"), and in this case,
    allow SNMPv2 to be disabled via a configuration option.  If SNMPv2
    and SNMPv1 are enabled then the default MUST be to disallow use of
    SNMPv1 to compromise any stricter security constraints imposed by
    SNMPv2.
