Feel free to suggest a patch that modifies Net-SNMP such that it meets your needs. Please note that we care a lot about backwards compatibility. That means that we neither want to break the API nor the ABI. Introducing new functions is allowed but changing the API or ABI of existing functions is not allowed.
