I do not thing that they are proposing two MIB modules.
They say:
  -   Thus, changes will be required for this MIB to interoperate in an
      IPv6 environment.
  -   The problems have not been addressed and a new MIB should 
      be defined.

Maybe you conclude from that second bullet that they propose a 2nd MIB.
But I do not think that is the intention. A "new mib module" could
either be:
  - a complete replacement that includes both IPv4 and IPv6 support
  - a complete replacement that adds IPv6 support to current module
  - indeed a 2nd MIB module for IPv6 only.

It is up to the WG (with MIB dcotor help maybe) to decide what the
best path forward would be.
