[OpenSIPS-Users] Contact header

[Jeff Pyle]

Raul, perhaps I can explain from the perspective of someone who may benefit
from such misplaced features.

"Better" is in the eye of the beholder.  Or, perhaps in these cases, in the
eye of the implementer.  If topology hiding is the only B2BUA-style feature
I need and all my other requirements are satisfied by a proxy like Opensips,
why would I re-engineer my whole system on a different platform?

The good news is many if not all of these features have an "off" switch for
the uninterested parties to throw.  It's not often that everyone wins.
