Not in immediate future unfortunately. Where does feature requests go? Did I misinterpreted "improvement" field in jira bug creation form?

> Having (optional) support for socket activation in Asterisk would bring several benefits:
> #  Security: systemd can listen on privileged ports or socket paths and start Asterisk with privileges already dropped.
> #  Major upgrades or reconfigurations of Asterisk requiring a full restart are possible without having the listening socket(s) ever go away.
> # Any service dependent on Asterisk doesn't have to wait for it to finish starting (or start at all).
> #  We can be absolutely sure that we always bind to existing IP addresses on all desired network interfaces - no race conditions with network bring-up, systemd takes care of that for us.
> Here is some useful documentation:
