That would totally rock. For those needing extreme uptime yet quickly
able to make changes, you could hit the database by default, but have a
flat file backup that could be used if the database was unavailable.
Ldap might be able to be used for the whole presence idea. Enum could
possibly be better worked under this idea also than part of the
dialplan.
