Why? I see no reason not to commit these changes.

1) the changes are small
2) they don't change existing behaviour
3) there is no impact on other drivers
4) we're in the development tree
5) the snmp-ups driver is flagged 'experimental'

All lights are green. In fact, I would like to get the opinion of other
users with similar systems. The easiest way to get that, is to modify the
development version. I'll commit this later today, with some small
modifications to make it conform to the NUT standards.

Yes. But that will probably take some time, as this requires a
considerable amount of development effort. Changing a few lines of code
takes a lot less effort than rewriting a whole driver. I guess it might
take at least a year or so, before we would have something of production
quality. I don't want to keep you waiting that long.

Best regards, Arjen
