Ok, so lets say you're writing a MIB today (many of us are).  Everyone
supposedly hates RowStatus, but the primary reason is the
create-and-wait state.

So, if you were writing a (standards-based) MIB what would you do
given todays choices:

1) use RowStatus as is, since it's still the currently accepted method.
2) Make something up for the MIB (ick).
3) use new not-yet standardized ideas (eos-rowops, being one example).
   [this isn't really an option of course, since I expect my draft to
    go to proposed before the eos is done debating this issue, and I
    can't wait (let alone wait for new deployment of protocol code)]
4) use RowStatus but in the compliance statements specify that the
   createAndWait enum value isn't required.
5) ???
