At this moment I'm still in the discussion phase (until last night,
did you consider this an issue). People will complain that not
answering packets without a proper SIP header will break specs,
people will complain that it will interfere with operational issues
etc etc etc. For what it is worth, I don't even know right now what
others people opinion about it is, so no, I don't have patches yet.
First discuss things which break things, then implement. Otherwise
I'll be wasting time on making them and then The Powers That Be
reject them because they don't understand the issue.

Happy easter-eggs, Edwin
