Two possible reasons spring to mind.
The first is that I have a vague recollection of some form of project
policy that we should only ship MIB files that are actually implemented
by the agent (or possibly even implemented by default). The idea
here would be to avoid the expectation that a MIB file being present
would automatically mean that you could query the agent for that
information.
Given the list of MIb files that are currently being installed, I'm not
entirely convinced that this is being consistently applied.
The second is that this was a simple oversight.
Comparing the list of MIBs shipped with the distribution, versus
the list of MIBs actually installed - the following are currently omitted:
DISMAN-{EXPRESSION,NSLOOKUP,PING,TRACEROUTE}-MIB.txt
LM-SENSORS-MIB.txt
MTA-MIB.txt
NET-SNMP-{MONITOR,PERIODIC-NOTIFY,SYSTEM,VACM}-MIB.txt
NETWORK-SERVICES-MIB.txt
SNMP-{TLS-TM,TSM}-MIB.txt
UCD-IPFILTER-MIB.txt
Qn: Should some/all of these be installed automatically?
