I think we can get an early allocation too. The question is how much

So burn OIDs early. It's not as if they're IPv4 addresses ;-)
Yeah ;) Seriously, some people say that the warning in RFC 2026 about
the drafts is enough (repeated below for convenience):
********************************************************

* Under no circumstances should an Internet-Draft *

and that you could assign an OID and then change the syntax without
consequences because it's in a draft. But, we all know that sometimes
things get coded never get changed.
