You fall right into one category of users, I agree.  Your situation is
likely even common.  However, its not the only case.  If you look at
the proceeding slides from the last ISMS BOF you'll see that the
variation in who is using SNMP, what versions they're using, how
they're using it and what they want from it don't boil down to a
single case.
