As has been mentioned previously on this list, AMP has customization 
points that provide advanced users the ability to enhance their systems. 
   You really are laying it on a bit thick saying that "any minute 
amount" of customization is "omninous". I'm not sure what your 
motivation is to spread this FUD but your statement is patently false.

If Digium's support desk has nightmares because of A at H then I'd 
respectfully submit that the reason for that is that Digium's support 
organization is trying to maintain a moribund paradigm and that 
consumers of Asterisk (especially SMBs) want an implementation with a 
standardized feature set and administrative GUI.

To be fair, Asterisk is a telephony toolkit and Digium's support 
organization faces many challenges in supporting everything from 
embedded to carrier-grade deployments. My hat's off to them in this respect.
