Do you have any idea how painful it is to build any kind of product that has
good management simply because there is no library of MIBs, with references
to documents? There isn't even a LIST of IETF MIBs. You can't figure out
if a document has a MIB unless you actually look at the text (although many
have a big hint in the title of the document). So yes, I believe better MIB
tools would lead to better products, although it would be hard to prove it.
Why does this need to be done in the RFCs or Internet Drafts
themselves? Why, for example, can't a human with a bit of training
extract all the MIBs from the current RFCs and put them into a
repository that is machine-accessible?
Something like http://www.icir.org/fenner/mibs/mib-index.html and
http://www.icir.org/fenner/mibs/extracted/ ?
