Is this warning correct??
Please take a look at RFC 2851 (or better the upcoming update draft-ietf-ops-rfc2851-update-06.txt). Its intent (and the intent of the above mentioned warning in libsmi) is to support MIB design that uses IP address objects which are indenpendent of the IP version.
If your managed device or service currently does not support all addressing types then the corresponding InetAddressType object(s) are simply limited to a certain subset.
Note that the IESG will no longer accept MIBs in the standards process that do not support IPv6. It's probably a good idea to do the same for vendor MIBs or other non-IETF MIBs.
