You do realize this change happen almost 3 years go, aprox Nov. 2008. 
There was a discussion about it at Astricon, on -dev mailing list, plus 
a code review on reviewboard[1]. Implying it did not happen is incorrect.

You might not have know about it because your first post from 
bruceb444 at gmail.com seems to be Apr. 2010[2]. Community feedback was 
provided for the change, since it was driven by the community.

If you don't like the change and want it reverted, simply load 
res_clialiases.so and edit cli_aliases.conf.

Voicing your opinions is not a problem, however starting them with 'I 
don't mean to be rude but...' is not the best way to start them.  If you 
want to help shape the future of Asterisk, I encourage you to join the 
discussion on the asterisk-dev mailing lists.

Its open source software, everybody gets a say.  It doesn't mean it will 
get done however.
