I agree with the "it's too soon" contingent.  Reworking your thoughts
into that straitjacket I come up with this proposal:  MUST SNMPv1.
MAY (or SHOULD?) SNMPv2.  DISCUSSION: Transition from SNMPv1 to SNMPv2
is a goal for a future Internet standard.  However, this is unlikely to
occur until SNMPv2 is a full standard and more operational experience
has been gained.  Also, such a transition cannot be carried out
simultaneously throughout the operational Internet, so coexistence
of both versions for some period of time is a practical necessity.

I think that whenever people agree it's time for the SNMPv2 mandate
to happen, a separate RFC should be issued updating Router Reqs and
possibly other affected RFCs - Host Reqs, or whatever.
