I would support a document specific to MIB modules - a problem space
we reasonably understand.

I think we have in this particular space a number of cases where we
can prove that the IETF model causes (a) either (almost) endless
delays or (b) forces artificial document splits or (c) cases where we
at the end manage to advance but only by not doing the updates that
actually would have been required.

In other words, recycling at Proposed seems to document best current
practice in the MIB module space.
