That's ok!

MIBs that exist in the enterprise space are "private", or appropriately,
"controlled by the author".  This is the case for all the MIBs under the
enterprise tree (like where net-snmp has a mib node it controls
everything else, as does hp, sun, linksys, etc...).

Then the IETF controls MIBs that are published in the standardized
RFCs.  To get them updated it takes a fairly complicated process to get
multiple vendors, etc, to agree on the "standard way to do it".

No one, that I know of, has put forth the effort to get the standardized
host resources mib updated with modern notions like multiple cores, etc.
