which for most things isn't a problem.. counters do wrap. It's a problem
when gauges wraps, but not really a problem when counters wrap unless
something reads the counter as an absolute value since startup and not a
counter..

Most isn't..

What would the real use benefits be of changing the MIB?
I'm fine with making the counter a long internally if that helps, but I
just don't see the point of making it a 64-bit SNMP counter.
