I don't think so, no.
  The snmpdf code uses the "MIB:node" syntax, which works regardless
of the -Istyle flags.  (Though inappropriate use of the -m/-M flags might
break it).    The snmpstatus code uses numeric OIDs internally, so doesn't
rely on MIB files at all.

In both cases, output doesn't typically include OIDs either (apart from
reporting errors in the snmpstatus query), so -O shouldn't affect things.

Noted.

Agreed. (Sort-of)
But these patches are sufficiently simple (particularl r16459), that it
wouldn't seem unreasonable to apply them to the 5.4.x line (for example).
Please have a look at the code of the patch, and let me know what you think.
