All the registries do is to help avoid collisions. These are really just
numbers we have a process for avoiding double issue of

I don't see any possibility of "control" of a leaf OID once it is
assigned.
All that organizations control s the issuing of new OIDS under
particular prefixes, and their prerogative is basically limited to
avoiding collisions with other people assigning OIDs under their
respective prefixes. Once you publish an OID as fit for a particular
purpose, you cannot take it back.
So I see no risk here. MIT's and Microsoft's OIDS are used in
Kerberos, for example. This has not and cannot cause any problems.
