Hmm... tell me how you'd manage a sip.conf with 17000 users and giving
the users the possibility of changing their passwords... :)

Or if you want to use * in a large environment, where all the other
user accounts are already stored in a central database. Having
database support in asterisk, it could be easily integrated in such
an installation.
