Well, tests show that ours isn't that bad from an interoperability  
standpoint. Two years ago, I was convinced
that it was the only way to go. I still haven't ruled it out though.  
I admit that there are a lot of picky stuff we don't
support, but so far we interoperate with most products out there  
successfully. It's way better now than when I
started working with chan_sip.

I have been in contact with many SIP stack developers, and there are  
things we need to do that is hard to
do without having to change their stack. And also, many stacks have  
incompatible licenses, which rules
them out.

Regardless, pineapple is much more than the lower layer stack. Check  
http://www.codename-pineapple.org
and you will see that it's a lot about changing the concepts and how  
we interface SIP to the core PBX too.

Due to lack of enough sponsors in the community, I have to postpone  
the project. Hopefully I can get it going
later this year, but right now I have to focus on other projects. If  
there are interested sponsors out there,
please send me an e-mail.
