Mark's Suggestion at the conference was to simply add 10 NoOps in your 
dial plan at the beginning of the context before you start your real work 
to leave room for future expansion. If I remember correctly, his comment 
was that this was more an issue of thinking creatively about the solution 
to the problem, rather than inventing something new to deal with it. I 
tend to agree with him on that point.. Just write your dial plan the 
correct way. ;)
