Yuck!!
Sorry - I *MUCH* prefer the previous approach.

How is that supposed to work?
The Event MIB is an integrated entity - the various tables rely on the
internals of each other.  Or at least my code does, and I'd expect the
same for Wes'.  Trying to mix-n-match the old and new implementations
just won't work.
  I trust that I've misunderstood what it being suggested here?


Could you perhaps summarise the issues affecting the previous approach
that led up to this change?

Not quite - I'm suggesting that this needs to be *discussed* first.

I'm not very happy that such a change was made over the weekend,
with absolutely no discussion on the coders list, or even a mention
after the fact.  My recent appearances on IRC should *not* be taken
as license to alter the project management policy.

IRC is a forum for *preliminary* discussions - not for decision making.
