Complete and utter bullshit. I've had plenty of issues that I've opened in 
the Bug Tracker get addressed in a timely manner, and I didn't have to pay 
a dime to get them fixed. If you have issues that have not been addressed 
in a specific version, stop whining on the list, and go pay Digium to fix 
your specific issues. Otherwise, shut up, roll up your sleeves and fix the 
code yourself.

As an example, at ClueCon, I asked Mark about a memory leak, he gave me 
some pointers on tracking it down, and within about 15 minutes he had a 
patch committed to both CVS Head and 1.0-stable branches. That is an 
extreme instance, but my general experience has been that the Developers 
on this list that participate at a high level in the Asterisk community 
are committed to finding and fixing as many bugs as possible, and they do 
it because they have a pride of ownership in the code they write.

If Asterisk doesn't fit your needs, and the development is not what you 
expect, then go use Yate or SipX. Just stop complaining every couple of 
months about the same issues over and over.
