This is not just Asterisk!  "Real" phone exchanges don't know when the callee 
has hung up, either.  It was a limitation of analogue circuit-switching 
technology that has been slavishly emulated up to the present day, even 
although a digital phone technically *can* inform the exchange that it has 
been hung up.

If someone calls you, you hang up but they keep their phone off the hook, then 
the next time you pick up your receiver you will still be connected to them.  
(Call your landline from your mobile and place the mobile in front of a radio, 
if you don't believe me.)
