> Is a new README file safe enough to go into 5.2?

Yes.
Traditionally, we always tended to tweak the documentation right up
to the last minute.  In particular, I've sometimes done a blitz on the
mailing lists to garner material for an update to the FAQ.
  (That won't happen this time - we've got an anniversary service at
church, so I'm up to my eyeballs in putting together displays of the
history of the place.  Not to mention That Bloody Book).

The main thinking behind the code freeze is to avoid us breaking the
code just before it goes out.  Screwing up the documentation would be
much less disasterous!  :-)
   (Not least because no-one ever looks at it anyway.....)

 I'd like to add a new one,

Yup - that looks extremely useful!
I've slight reservations about the name though - we already have a
"README.mibs" file (in the mibs directory).   It might be better to
use a different name for this.   Maybe something which indicates that
this lists what MIBs the agent supports?

Bruce> I dont' see what the "available" column is buying you.

No - I think it's useful.  If nothing else, it indicates that we
know about this particular group.   We *know* that it's not been
implemented, rather than having simply overlooked it.
