Tested in what way?
What *exactly* did you test - what did you expect to see,
and what did you actually see? What sorts of time-shift
have you tested this with? Forward? Backwards? Small
shifts? Large shifts?

You say you tested sysUpTime.
What other MIB objects did you test?
There are various objects that make explicitly reference
to sysUpTime. Have you checked any of those to see whether
they work as expected. (Which implies that you must first
be clear about how you'd expect them to work!)
Also, various delta-values objects (counters, etc) rely
on sysUpTime and similar MIB objects to indicate
discontinuities. Have you tested these - if so, how?
And that's just of the top of my head - I haven't had
the chance to sit down and think through properly about
what the implication are. (Let alone discuss this with
any of my colleagues). Now perhaps you see why I'm being
a little cautious about just blindly making this change
to the main Net-SNMP agent?
