Amen! Speak the truth brother Olle! :)

I, too, have been waiting for a Stable tree. Sure, it's boring, but 
enterprising people can always backport features and add them as 
stand-alone modules to asterisk-addons. I am using Dundi with my 1.0.1 
servers and it works. Ask on #asterisk for the modularized version of it 
and someone is bound to point it out. Simply "make install" and grab the 
"dundi.conf.sample" from current CVS and go to town.

However, now that 1.0 has been feature frozen and released, there are a 
whole lot of companies out there who have breathed a large sigh of releif 
and are polishing up the final releases of ther Asterisk related software. 
This helps EVERYONE in the community, and further drives Asterisk into new 
locations. It allows Asterisk to actually have releases which are a known 
quanity and can be picked up and added to the various distributions. This 
is a GOOD GOOD thing! :)
