The reason for including it is because when we occasionally need to change
the internal API, it's difficult to remember which version of the addons
package goes with each version of Asterisk.  Additionally, changes to the
addons packages rarely got released on time in the past.  It makes it a lot
easier just to include them directly in the main distribution, default
disabled.
