I don't personally use SNMP, but it does feel like there are a lot of 
redundant pieces. There probably needs to be a bit of thought in how it 
hangs together.

What exactly do you think needs doing? Subendu is the resident expert 
in SNMP, so I'll leave him to decide the direction here.

I think that's why I want to get a "wish list", so then we can have 
people jump in with help on any particular areas. I don't think there 
is anything around proofreading or QA that is required. Some work on 
the test suite would be very helpful.
