If that is how you're selling and supporting Asterisk systems I think your 
business model is flawed.

While I won't argue your other points, I think that if you've been working 
with Asterisk this long and you hit this kind of problem more than a few 
times then it's clear to me that you do not in fact know Asterisk as well as 
you thought!

I'll admit I've been bitten once or twice by bugs AFTER a rollout, the vast 
majority of my installations work, as far as the customer is concerned.
