And I'm doing it. 

My problem is when I get arguments like "it's there in PJIP so we have to use it" or "we can't do anything because of PJSIP". 

PJSIP doesn't do happy eyeballs, doesn't do SIP outbound and misses a lot of features that we do need. If we are locked down waiting for them and can not control our own fate as a product, we are in really bad shape.

I am not saying they are not doing a good job in PJSIP, but if I was a product manager for Asterisk I would not like having so little control of one of the most important modules.
