The table reports the membership of the set of contexts recognized
by the SNMP entity.  If the membership of that set is dynamic, then
the table will necessarily be dynamic.  VACM (now RFC 3415) does
not define an interface for management to modify the membership of
the set.

Concrete example: let's say we have an instance of some MIB for each
card in a chassis.  When a card in such an environment is inserted or
withdrawn, the set of contexts known to the SNMP entity could change.
