When you have code in svn - you don't need backwards compatibility.  If
you want an old version, that's fine, you can check out a specific
revision of the entire tree.  There is a point where that becomes a
non-issue.  Of course, that isn't the issue at hand here.

One reason Jeremy (and myself) is (are) so frustrated, is because Sergio
says something that appears he would like to work with us, then pulls out
and comes up with another excuse of why he doesn't want to/can't.  We
spend our time trying to work with him, and he leads us on, only to
further disappoint us.  It's my opinion that if Sergio *really* cared
about Asterisk (and its users) (or even sccp in general), he would welcome
a collaboration of resources to make the driver better for everybody
(including ABE users), which makes me think it's more of a
monetary/donation issue than anything else - which would be a shame.

I personally have no problem with Sergio continuing chan_sccp, but he
needs to understand that eventually (with regards to Asterisk), it will
become irrelevant unless things change - which, frankly, would be far more
of a shame.
