You did not ask when they would be implemented, you said that it not 
being implemented was 'a major limitation'. That is not asking a 
question, nor is it in any way constructive.

You are very good at putting words into others' mouths, apparently... 
Since nobody has said anything of the kind, making a statement like this 
is purely inflammatory. Where is this resistance that you speak of? Do 
you have any evidence that someone provided a functional implementation 
of this feature and it was rejected? Do you have any evidence that 
someone provided even a functional design for others to implement and it 
was rejected? If not, saying there is 'resistance' is purely 
argumentative and only annoys everyone else.

Asterisk has the features it has because people with the skills to 
implement them did so; features that are not present are not that way 
because someone decided they would not ever be there (except in very 
rare circumstances), they are that way because nobody has provided an 
implementation that was merged into the source tree. Reading anything 
more into the lack of a feature is wasting our time and yours :-)
