We're using something like this at exosec right now. We've been decided to publish it for quite some time now, but always have more important things to do :-(

One problem our developer discovered with this interface is that it does not support the counter64 type by default. So he had to patch netsnmp to add support for this type, and judging from the numerous posts on forums, he was not the first one with this problem (and with such a patch).

So while it looks cleaner, if you want to use it correctly you have to patch it.
