Yes. The new CIDR Route table i.e. inetCidrRouteTable, is a superset
of the ipCidrRouteTable, and would (in all probability) deprecate
the existing table.

The index structure has been more or less maintained from RFC 2096 
(except for ipCidrRouteTos being replaced inetCidrRouteInstance).
inetCidrRouteInstance seems to have been designed with universal
applicability in mind i.e. it could also represent Tos based 
classification but could also be used cases of multiple routing 
tables - say for VPN. 

Note that the MIB also makes a comment that this object needs to 
discussion (maybe a more detailed specification of what can/cannot 
be represented by it). So, I guess, we need to wait and see what 
its finally defined as..
