<yadi> hno: can you confirm that it is okay to simply swap the Counter32
SNMP OID type to Counter64 without changing OID numbers?

Generally it's not OK to change existing entries, quite many pollers
configure the data type. But it is a balance. Both changing data types
and changing the MIB with a new OID is confusing. In case of changing
from Counter32 to Counter64 it's better to change the datatype than
introducing a new OID.
