MIB question - default BFD enable status?

[Jeffrey Haas <[e-mail]>]

Since I'm now freed from the tyrannies of my company's latest release, I'm
in the process of reviewing the various BFD specificiations.  One
of the questions that came up in during the MIB review was something
that input from the WG would be helpful for:

        bfdAdminStatus OBJECT-TYPE 
           SYNTAX   INTEGER { enabled(1), disabled(2) }         
           MAX-ACCESS   read-write 
           STATUS   current 
           DESCRIPTION 
              "The global administrative status of BFD in this router.  
               The value 'enabled' denotes that the BFD Process is 
               active on at least one interface; 'disabled' disables  
               it on all interfaces." 
           DEFVAL { enabled }  
           ::= { bfdScalarObjects 1 } 

Arguments can be made both ways for this feature to be enabled or disabled
by default.  I believe that, at least in the MIB, it should be disabled.

If you have an opinion, please bring it to the list.
