People are still using the old OIDs because they work 
universally. As soon as cisco produces an IOS that doesn't 
respond to 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.2.1.57.0 & 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.2.1.58.0 
and it makes it into my network, then I will make the changes 
to my templates. The big drawback to changing right now is 
that not all of my routers support queries against 
.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.109.1.1.1.1.5.*.

For instance, I have a 2600 out in the middle of nowhere that
is still running 12.0(7), and it doesn't respond to the 109 snmp
call while the 57 & 58 OIDs work fine. Yes, I agree that router
needs a new IOS, but after 3 years, 45 weeks, 19 hours, and 49 
minutes of continious runtime, I'd rather just let the thing be.
It's not in a vulnerable spot for Internet attacks or anything
like that and I've got more pressing matters to attend to.

}
}are used to replace the avgBusy5, avgBusy1, and busyPer 
}objects from the OLD-CISCO-CPU MIB, respectively.

}This indicated a change in version 12.x.

Yes, this does seem to indicate a change in 12.x, but in 
classic cisco fashion, this sweeping decree turns out to 
be an untrue statement.
