Indeed, carefull wordings are important.

But even more important, the notes state that IESG will decide
what direction to take AFTER the DC IETF. And so, even though the
team is NOW listing possible changes to SNMP/SMI in order to meet
the requirements, that is by no means a sign of an upcoming SNMPvx
and/or an argument to skip SNMPv3 and wait for new things to happen.

Hope this helps
