There's a long history of telling people "You're polling a Linux system, you have to know that you subtract buffers and cached from physical before you report free memory" in the HOST-RESOURCES-MIB. I'm not against simplifying, but - if people have data collection set up for "the old way", where you have to subtract buffers and cached after collecting them, then this change will result in double-subtraction.
In Arista EOS we handled this by adding another row to the table, to avoid breaking existing data collection when someone upgrades.
