That's why I suggested changing it then for Asterisk 19, since it's acceptable to change things like that for new standard releases. The existing erroneous behavior could be retained for the existing LTS versions.

A lot of people have not been using Milliwatt() for Milliwatt tests, since it's never worked properly. That's just the thing. I myself do not use Milliwatt for my milliwatt tests, since the existing Milliwatt() is useless. It just seems to work to laypeople with no understanding of the actual technical specifications to which such things are supposed to adhere. Milliwatt() is not a real milliwatt.

Various telephone people have griped about this many times and pointed out the wrong behavior in telephone circles. These are telephone engineers, many retired from the Bell System, not programmers, so they're not really involved with technical stuff like posting on JIRA or Gerrit. If you need other anecdotes, I can get them for you or try to have people comment on the issue. But in order for this bug fix to be effective, everyone using Milliwatt would be required to update their dialplan - I would do it, but most people are probably going to lose track of that.
