Indeed, if there was one name I would associate with the syslog MIB
module it would be Glenn's but there were not many more.  I have long
supported SNMP and so tend to notice, and get involved with, MIB modules
just because they are MIB modules, even when they are not something I am
likely to encounter in anger.  Hence my comments on this list on
draft-hmac-sha-2-usm-snmp
but whereas I would expect that to advance to an RFC, I am less sanguine
about the propects for a syslog MIB module -  it lacks a hook to today's
hot buttons such as security, yang etc.

Incidentally, I notice that Tom has a gmail address and I read on the
main IETF list that Yahoo has, in effect, unwittingly launched a DoS
attack on mailing lists that could also impact gmail users, so I hope
that we are still communicating.
