> While {{ast_bridge_features}} should be the structure that holds a channel's features while it is in a bridge, there are better ways of structuring this data.
> # It should structure specific information. Talk detection and other optional function callbacks should at least be put in a sub-structure.
> # It should not have a different container for each type of feature. We will extend the types of features that are possible in a bridge - we should not break the ABI every time we do so. While this may mean having a few different containers, {{ao2_containers}} support selection of specific types of objects through {{ao2_callback}}. Given that these containers will not support many hooks, this should not be a major performance hit.
> # {{ast_bridge_feature_limits}} is currently leaked in certain situations. If the lifetime of the limits object is not explicitly tied to the lifetime of the features object, it should be an ao2 object.
> In general, the goal should be to have a features API that is flexible enough to allow for new feature hooks to be developed without being changed.
> While the design of ConfBridge does currently limit this in certain ways, we should attempt to make this as robust as possible.
