bristuff is the only patch in functionality, and for 1.2.15 I need to
drop it again, because it does not apply and there is no upstream
equivalent (why isn't bristuff merged in?). But I don't think bristuff
should have done you any harm.

But anything that should be tunable is in the sense that if you really
think asterisk should be build w/o bristuff you get the src.rpm and do
a

rpmbuild --rebuild --without bristuff asterisk-xyz.src.rpm

It would be worth while to try to stick to the packages either simply
using them, or building from them, or modify them, as if there
are any issues they can be ironed out, which then benefits more users.
