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.

Not possible.

That will take many releases.

By selecting a port, yes.

You can already use global variables as a prefix instead of hard coding "SIP/" or "SIPNG/".

I would hope that the dial strings and configurations are not fully compatible. Forcing a new implementation to follow the old one would mean
less progress than we should really have, considering the broken configuration of the current chan_sip. 

We can surely implement scripts to help migration, but that's another issue.

Thanks for the open brainstorm :-)

Sorry to be negative...
