RE: Updating the MIB boilerplate

["Wijnen, Bert (Bert)" <bwijnen@lucent.com>]

I have also looked at this, and it seems that one line
sentence to point to Section 7 of rfc2570bis would do the
job (or so I think). As far as I am concerned, that can
even be an informative reference.

I would think that in many cases we will continue to need
normative references to RFC2578/2579/2580 cause people
almost always import stuff from those 3 documents.

Any differing opinions?

Thanks,
Bert
