Well there is one example I can think of where this didn't become the norm -- DOCSIS -- where a small customer community forced vendors through a process of standardization (trekking to Broomfield CO USA oh joy) in order for them to sell gear. And that included a set of tests for the SNMPv3 agent with mandated read-write mib modules among other mgmt protocols employed. Maybe this was a simpler problem than that's being discussed here. But given the VC activity/startups on virtualized networking can imagine that other chunks of networking infrastructure amenable to standardized configuration will follow suit. Once that occurs then standards bodies codify industry practice.
