Most of it got merged after Mark and I agreed on things. But not all. This is one part that was never merged.

Well, chan_sip2 is still around in the bug tracker somewhere deeply hidden. I also have it on my hard disk drive. As always, if I get funding I can update this code.

The reason why I did not merge this was because Kevin came up with the configuration templates. They can not solve these issues however, so I agree there's still need for the device templates.
