I did not state an opinion, nor did I state what were the most useful
things to get added to Asterisk. The poster mentioned 'the most
requested feature' and I responded to that.

Yes, an RTP jitter buffer would be a welcome thing (there is no jitter
buffer for SIP, it's signaling!). However, until the code is stable and
we get solid, reliable test reports, it's not going to get merged, no
matter how badly we want it. An unreliable, buggy or unmaintainable
jitter buffer is worse than none at all.
