And this means what to a system designed around a PSTN board? How many
of us use this system for PSTN and IAX with no SIP or h323 in sight? 

So far these timing problems arise from people doing VoIP only systems
on a system that was started as a PSTN platform and is able to handle
VoIP.

So while reading the RFC is a good idea, and maybe it will be good in
determining a new timing source for SIP only systems, it shouldn't take
over asterisk.
