Are those staffing changes the consequence of issues in Asterisk deployment
or is it the opposite (the new staff members that decided to change back to
CCM) ?

Given the cost of reverting to CCM, that would be strange Sam Houston Stat
University in Texas prefers to roll back to CCM instead of finding
appropriate support suppliers.

Maybe actors are still  reading this list and could tell more about it.

I know these days, it's easier to get hudge bargains from vendors ...
