I have been tasked at the company I work for to make changes to a company generated MIB. That is it lives under the private sub tree.
The MIB has a table with a couple of object defined in the table.
They want the name of one of the object renamed.
Example:
TableEntry ::= SEQUENCE
yada, yada
OldName Integer32
Can I just edit the MIB document to use the new name or do I need to deprecate the OldName and add a new entry and object for the new name?
TableEntry ::= SEQUENCE
yada, yada
OldName Integer32,
NewName Integer32
Seems like this would be harder on an NMS to as a GET on the OldName would return no such object for this table.

The object name is purely for human consumption (or for any tools for human consumption, such as a MIB compiler, or IDE). The SNMP protocol deals only with OIDs.
As such, the worst thing would be to deprecate and add a new entry, since then
you would break all the applications that rely on the old OID.
Your solution is to REPLACE OldName with NewName, not add it to the SEQUENCE.
If you want to be safe, you could add an OBJECT IDENTIFIER clause that makes a
second name equivalence for that OID, in your example, after your definition of
NewName, eg.
NewName OBJECT-TYPE
...
::= tableentry N
-- N is a decimal number
you could add
OldName OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= tableentry N
