[asterisk-dev] What is test-law?

[Alexander Traud]

In 2009, Asterisk 1.8 introduced a media format called "G.711 test-law" [1]. Furthermore, in chan_sip, default_format_capabilities mentioned testlaw. Five years later, Asterisk 13 removed testlaw from there [2]. However, it remained in general.

For me, it looks like not just dead code but a merge mistake back in the year 2009. It looks like a format which was used to white-box test the change back then. The old "Review Board" is no longer online, so I cannot check any possible comments there.

Any idea? I feel it is worth removal because it can create chaos [3].
