Ideally, yes - it might well be sensible to re-code the snmpNotifyTable (and snmpNotifyFilterProfileTable) to use the newer helper-based API, and bring them into line with the snmpNotifyFilterTable But in practise, this isn't really a high priority. As long as they work OK, there are probably more important things to spend our time on. But any new MIB modules should definitely use the v5 APIs, rather than header_complex.
