Regardless of whether "call home functionality" as you defined it is desirable, I disagree with the claim that it wouldn't represent a major architectural change to SNMP. For notification originators, it is a quite natural extension, and I have no problem with it. For command responders, I think this would be a fairly significant addition to the architecture. I'm neutral on the question of whether it is needed, and perhaps we only differ in what we perceive as "major", but I think we need to be clear that it would indeed require changing the SNMP architecture. I also disagree that it is the use of SSH or TCP that results in the architectural changes. TCP use without "call home" (as in RFC 3430) requires no architectural changes.
