This RowStatus object manages the lifecycle -- creation, activation, deletion -- of an interface's entry in the ifextTable. Since interface entries typically correspond to physical hardware, an admin would rarely delete rows manually; this object is more relevant to management applications provisioning or verifying interface entries. A management system enumerating active interfaces would check this object equals active(1) to confirm the entry is a valid, in-service row rather than a stale or notReady one.
