[asterisk-dev] chan_sip deprecation

[asterisk at phreaknet.org]

I've been planning to do that, though I'm not going to do anything until 
it's actually removed.
Anything we do in the future will probably be here: 
https://github.com/InterLinked1/phreakscript
It'll likely start by reversing the patches that remove chan_sip, and 
then adding features that have been added to it after the cutoff 
deadline for new features earlier this year (similar to what's done 
there now, currently).
I largely don't use chan_sip anymore but there is enough need/want for 
it (with likely lots of people trying to do the  same thing) that I see 
that it makes sense for supporting there. Obviously, nothing about this 
would be "officially supported"...
