I think my rant at the OPS and routing area open meetings a few IETFs back
convinced the relevant people that we should never try to push for such
things in SNMP again.

But this does mean that if you care about getting such state with a clean
presentation layer of some sort (i.e. no screen scraping), spend some cycles
in places like netconf/netmod.  Contribute.  And then convince your vendors
to implement. :-)
