Expanding the support for SNMP monitoring of FreeBSD systems using our 
native SNMP pieces is something I've had on my "Someday" todo list for 
ages.  I'd really like to see this happen (hence adding it to Murray's 
list :-).  Being able to claim that FreeBSD can be monitored out of the 
box using SNMP (assuming an admin twiddle is set) would be quite useful 
from a "make your embedded X out of FreeBSD" perspective.  Especially if 
it were easy to say "Let the interfaces be monitored", "Let the VM system 
be monitored", "Let users be monitored" as configurable items so (for 
example) firewall vendors could enable network interface monitoring but 
not user monitoring.
