Tools that rely on globally unique names are broken. Unless there is
evidence that the majority of people use broken tools, I think we
should not start to change names just because we have clashes with
some proprietary MIBs.

If a company decides that standards support is not important enough to
get the tools they use fixed, then that is a business decisions which
is interesting itself in its interpretation.
