> CDRs behavior is tricky.  The fact that its tricky causes a lot of people frustration:
> * Things that people think should work, don't
> * People report bugs because CDRs either don't capture the information they want, or do something they don't expect
> * Those issues either get closed out because the behavior is undefined, or they languish in the issue tracker
> If we aren't going to support certain CDR behavior - because that behavior is by definition undefined - then we should say so on the Asterisk wiki.  The page should provide:
> * How CDRs work in 'standard' two party calls
> * How CDRs work in Queues
> * How CDRs can be manipulated by using various cdr configuration settings
> * Where CDRs are undefined and why
> * A concrete statement that only violations to the defined behavior and to cdr settings are candidates for fixing in release branches.
> * Changes in CDR behavior only occurs in new versions
> * We will not attempt to change undefined behavior.
