How about the more secure and probably more helpfull route of throwing a
BIG warning and then disabling the module till the user finally
configures the contexts.

Ohh, but it still doesn't fix the problem of someone who includes their
PSTN long distance in the same context they let unconfigured
IAX/SIP/H323/whatever VoIP protocol.
