So all of those software packages have never had any issues and were 
always 'stable'? They never experience any unexpected results or 
unpredictable behavior? I find that very hard to believe.

Note that I'm not disagreeing that Asterisk should be as stable as 
possible... I'm only asking the original poster what he's comparing it 
to that never has any troubles on his system. Many of us run Asterisk on 
systems that see very high call volumes and have _zero_ problems that 
can be attributed to Asterisk at all.

Complaining about the lack of testing on high-load systems is of no 
value; the only way that problem will ever be solved is for the people 
with the systems and the experience to do the testing to actually start 
doing it and report their results. I am trying to help out on that front 
here at Digium, but just like everyone else we have resource limitations 
too :-)
