Any reason for that ?

I was waiting for some resolution on the "same object, two definitions" issue.

That's true. I'd say people should start to use NET-SNMP as it must be taken into account that some standard MIBs have been updated and hence the (re)definition of some MIB modules need to be handled. I think UCD-SNMP won't be developed
further, so we need to start looking in to NET-SNMP more carefully.

Does NET-SNMP fix that issue, so that you never have the same object defined twice in two MIBs?
