This is true, but it is rather easy to make a loop with Asterisk. If
we could use a piece of proxy technology to mitigate that problem,
then I am all for it. As long as it doesn't break anything, of course.

It wouldn't solve everything; I have made call loops on PRI circuits
several times, and Max-Forwards couldn't do anything about that.
Still, better than nothing.
