Kevin, I really like your domain name, especially the part that says
"back to basics". The basics we need to get to is a 1.0 release of
Asterisk.

Putting features before proper quality control has given us Mircosoft
and the "<shrug> dunno what happened, just reboot and hope it won't
happen again" culture.

You can always patch a final 1.0 release, but it is difficult to get
third parties to support Asterisk as long as it remains like shooting
at a moving target. This is holding Asterisk back. We must overcome
our boyz-want-toyz instincts and sacrifice features in order to take
Asterisk to the next level. Right now, there isn't anything as
important as getting to that 1.0 milestone.
