  The history of SNMP module is simple -- it was a summer project of a
  FOKUS intern. The summer ended, the guy left FOKUS and noone was
  willing to maintain the module anymore. This has nothing to do with
  scarce resources -- there simply was no interest in that module.

  If placing new contributions into a separate directory will not help
  then placing them in another CVS repository where you have to apply
  for another username and password and the version of ser that you will
  be working with will be heavily modified will not help for sure. It
  would be more hard to integrated such contributions to the official
  SER.
