It's probably also an exponential relationship. :-) Constructing your own OID tree isn't especially difficult, but ours is only really running a bunch of monitoring scripts. Things like one-off scripts would be better handled with something like dsh, for example (http://www.netfort.gr.jp/~dancer/software/dsh.html). But I guess having it all wrapped up in one package would be much less convoluted.
