There was a question from a vendor using NetBSD the other day, who
was in need of a sysctl MIB for local use. The suggested top-level
name was 'vendor', to be used only by vendor-extensions to NetBSD.

The alternative is 'vendor.<vendorname>', but that would mean that
we'd have to keep the list and register all new names.

Are there any objections to adding the 'vendor' top-level name
to the sysctl MIBs?
