Hi Bill,

To avoid confusion: does your comment
apply to commit a88d81f1144e ("NET-SNMP-SYSTEM-MIB, Linux: Update
calculation of free space") only or also to commit 4e3ace87b566
("NET-SNMP-SYSTEM-MIB: Account reclaimable space")?

Thanks,

Bart.

There's a long history of telling people "You're
polling a Linux system, you have to know that you subtract
buffers and cached from physical before you report free
memory" in the HOST-RESOURCES-MIB. I'm not against
simplifying, but - if people have data collection set up for
"the old way", where you have to subtract buffers and cached
after collecting them, then this change will result in
double-subtraction.

In Arista EOS we handled this by adding another row to
the table, to avoid breaking existing data collection when
someone upgrades.
