I don't agree, let me explain:

OpenSER has been:
- Pure SIP proxy  :)
- Registrar server
- Presence server

(I don't mention "redirect server" since IMHO is a stupid concept).


However, today's OpenSIPS features include dialog management and SDP mangling.
These features are supposed to be implemented in a B2BUA, not in a proxy (all 
of us already know the real limitations of the dialog module concerning to 
security, forking scenarios, PRACK...).

In the above other cases (registrar, presence server), OpenSIPS behaves as an 
UAS, not as a proxy, so OpenSIPS implements the appropiate role for such 
tasks.

Anyhow, if the new "exotic" features work, go on :)
