Hello.  I'm a core developer for net-snmp.  I do most of my development
on Solaris.

I've noticed that the SMA code shipped with Solaris 10 is rather stale
and that the majority of files in SFW haven't been touched since 2003
which makes it 5.0.9 vintage which is pretty much deprecated.  We're
currently shipping 5.4.

I'd like to work with this community to facilitate getting a newer
version on the street.

Here are some of the issues:

1.  Practically the entire codebase has changed.  To update, do I need
approval for every individual change or can we arrange some sort of bulk
upgrade?

2.  Some users are going to want to jump ahead to the latest version.
Can we work out a methodology for doing so (with appropriate
disclaimers)?

3.  Other packages rely upon SMA.  What are those relationships?

4.  The current configuration string fails to include some of the newer
features, especially LM-SENSORS.  What is the methodology for getting
new modules approved?
