I wouldn't worry about it.  I seem to recall this being one of the
cases tested in the early interoperability bake-offs way back when.
This argument is just as (in)valid with regard to the use of any
less-used protocol feature, or to the addition of anything to a
data model.

It also doesn't bother me, but I think that's a question for the folks
with products in that market segment.

Keeping the amount of paperwork to a minimum, how about doing
something that, while perfectly legal as far as I can tell,
might *really* irk badly written code:

   hrExtStorageEntry OBJECT-TYPE
       SYNTAX     HrExtStorageEntry
       MAX-ACCESS not-accessible
       STATUS     current
       DESCRIPTION
           "A (conceptual) entry for one logical storage area on
           the host, containing extensions to the information
           contained in the corresponding hrStorageEntry."
       AUGMENTS { hrStorageEntry }
       ::= { hrStorageTable 2 }

-- yes, that's a TWO!

hrExtStorageAvail OBJECT-TYPE
                SYNTAX                Integer32 (0..2147483647)
                MAX-ACCESS     read-only
                STATUS                current
                DESCRIPTION
                                "The amount of the storage represented by this 
entry
                                that is available to non-superusers, in units of
                                hrStorageAllocationUnits."
                ::= { hrExtStorageEntry 8 }
