I see no reason to deprecate SIP for chan_sip - I would encourage people running both channels while testing and while the new channel driver is getting stable and up to par. Having to switch between them doesn't make sense when you can run one on 5060 and another on 5080 or something similar.

It's hard to use english language games in a product that's used world-wide. One has to be very careful with naming stuff that's going to be used in production.
We need to have a professional and serious attitude in our product. Naming something "gulp" is not going to help.

And "gulp" hasn't been in use outside development.
