Why do you think that's better than submitting it as a branch within the
offical fork? Just to reduce

We need a set of continual build tests, as also mentioned in that

They all do different things:
1) --enable-read-only has been around longer than snmpping.c, and it's
clear that the person that

Wes,
Thank you for taking the time to put the history of Net-SNMP's codebase to
paper. I feel that it puts why the codebase is the way it is in its proper
perspective.
After reading this very insightful essay, I feel that Net-SNMP being the
"de-facto SNMP stack" also means that it's the refere

Thanks Wes for the elaborate write-up.

This is more of a "history of where we are and how we got here" than a
directive. But it's important we consider how we got here before making
major changes to the code base, especially surrounding changes that
break backward compatibility.
