Comment (by jul_bsd@…):

 No problem.
 I choose to put sane/secure default on installation to avoid exposing
 unnecessary stuff. After, it depends a lot on what is the user input on
 snmpconf
 As also an OpenBSD user, I think it's better if system/package can by
 default offer secure/sane default and it's up to user to adjust is need
 but if he does not, he shouldn't be to threatened.
 Maybe, we can reinforce the notes with text like

 "To open snmpd, just edit /path/to/plist and remove 127.0.0.1.
 You are advise to use snmp V3 for authentication and read-only
 configuration unless necessary

 eg

 $ snmpwalk -v3 -On -u <user> -l AuthPriv -a SHA -A <auth_password> -X
 <encryption_password> <HOST_IP> system
 "
