But surely security and "as if simultaneously" are more
related to the design of the inter-agent API, rather than
how to implement that API within the Net-SNMP agent framework?

For example, the SET processing capabilities of AgentX
are significantly better than those for SMUX - but that's
inherent in the design of the two protocols.  The Net-SNMP
agent could be extended to run as a SMUX subagent using a
similar "north-end" approach to that used for the existing
AgentX implementation.  It would then support the "as if
simultaneously" requirements to the full extent that SMUX
is capable of (which isn't much, I agree!)

Whether this is actually worth doing in any particular case
is a different question :-)
