Yeah, right.
Let's remove half the utrility of this MIB!

There is valuable utility to write-access in the LSR MIB. Manually provisioned
LSPs (PVC-style) are important in all networks, but especially in ATM and FR. If
you talk to your transport people, they'll tell you that support for this
function in the GMPLS/TDM/optical world is essential.

This is a non-starter. We discussed the need for this MIB to have write access
at least three years ago, and added it then.
