I can't be bothered looking for the link right now, but it's definitely stated somewhere on Digium's website.

To retort, Digium has ever to my knowledge, stamped an 'Enterprise
Grade' mark on the product.  If you are worried about a single point of
failure you may want to replace your toaster.

Asterisk is missing a 'few features' no doubt about it, but it is open
source, it will be a welcome addition if you would like to add
multi-homing support in, might as well do media multi-homing with call
diversity. This will definably be a non-trivial re-architecture of the
core.

The 'missing a few features' way of thinking is what has made Asterisk
what it is today.
