Possible, but somewhat unlikely. There have been a number of people who 
thought it must be easy to achieve SS7 for *, starting from openss7. 
Nobody has actually got anywhere with that approach. We looked at the 
openss7 code. We moved on, and built something new from scratch. Just 
from the looking at the history of this thing, I would be surprised if 
another viable SS7 for * project exists.

That assumes a common set of goals it achievable. With the problems we 
still face over approvals, and so on, we can't even agree on 100% of our 
own goals. :-)
