If we would add this, I would consider also Berts comment.
What would be the typical environment it operates in.

Beyond that I wonder what the real use for a management
application would be to have these long OCTET STRINGs.
Maybe I need to read that MIB, but most cases I have seen
where to provide the content of a packet. If that would have
the maximim length it would never go into a single SNMP packet.
But is that needed to know by an management application?
