I think that E2E into the home for SNMP is perhaps one of the things that would 
motivate an ISP to support homenet.

E2E network management and/or monitoring, yes. SNMP, at least on a public 
interface, maybe not so much. We may be entering a phase where ISPs consider 
blocking TCP/UDP 161.

The reason is that SNMP is becoming more and more widely abused. I still have 
no idea why for example (1) some gear ships with public as the default string 
and the daemon running by default as such, (2) some gear does not present the 
user with an interface to turn off SNMP or change the community string at all 
(so you may be stuck with on/public).

So maybe on SNMP, tread carefully. ;-)
