I vaguely recall potential leaks that caused excess file descriptor
usage in older versions, but it's so old that it's hard to remember.
Just to provide some scope of how many changes there are between even
1.8.11.0 and 1.8:

✔ jcolp at electron:~/development/asterisk/public [11|⚑ 1]> git diff
1.8.11.0..1.8 | wc -l
221688

That's 221,688 changed lines.
