So...
- The entmib WG is currently working on a revision of the entity MIB.
  May I assume you will pick it up there and come with proposals
  on how to fix it?
- What proposals (if any) do we have for the IF-MIB.
  And if we have some, can we revive the IFMIB WG (It does
  still exist as far as I know) to get it fixed there as well.
- Who is willing to work (I know thet Juergen once started)
  on a replacement for StorageType that WILL be implementable
  on most systems and that WILL be usable and workable.,
