[OpenSIPS-Users] [Fwd: [Serdev] the sip router project]

[Bogdan-Andrei Iancu]

Hi Stefan,

Wherever the code is (separate branch, in trunk,etc), the understanding 
of the code is the same - there were cases where code was reverted from 
trunk just because people where not able to understand that code (and 
what the code is to provide).

Even if I do my design and it is 300% better, this is no guarantee 
(based on past events) that the code will be accepted. Because, the tech 
stuff was not relevant - the driven factors had nothing to do with the 
tech aspects..That was the problem.

Do you thing I didn't evaluate all the possible options before making my 
move? And anyhow, I do not foresee any later merge given the current 
status ;) - al least not for OpenSIPS.

Regards,
Bogdan
