The DISMAN WG produced several MIB modules. It seems that some of them
are enjoying more implementations, others less. The DISMAN-SCRIPT-MIB
likely belongs to the second group. I have seen the
DISMAN-SCHEDULE-MIB in products - not sure however how widely it is
actually been used. I have seen some of the remote operations MIBs in
products and I have myself used the notification log implementation
that comes with NETSNMP (and I basically found it useful). There has
been discussion about the DISMAN-EXPRESSION-MIB being too complex.

Note that this is all my totally biased view of the world. But for me,
it seems that the more generic MIBs tend to be, the less likely they
seem to get implemented and finally used. The DISMAN-SCRIPT-MIB has
likely seen more usage in research papers than in real-world product
as far as I can tell.
