If people want to work on a free, portable high quality SNMP agent, go
ahead and implement an AgentX master. I see no reason why this can't

pretty sure that for example the maintainers of the Linux SNMP agent
would be happy to switch to an AgentX based solution. All we need is a
volunteer to work on the AgentX master or a company who makes an
implementation available under a suitable copyright.
I'm one person who'd like to talk about this next
