Dare I suggest that a MUCH better job of documenting would go a long way 
towards eliminating the problems  you mention?

Now I realize that programmers are much more interested in writing code 
than documentation, as well as moving on to the next hot feature than 
making sure the current set work well, but . . .

I have found the Asterisk handbook Version 2, to be kind, poor, and the 
Mahler book sold for a small fortune obsolete as well as lacking. Most 
of what is published in that book is a rehash of what is available on 
line free for the taking.

Just my opinion, of course.
