This is good feedback :)

Maybe I'm missing something, but why using SST module if you are not 
interested in terminating the dialog when Session Timer is up ? more or 
less if you want to control the dialog lifetime by your own values, then 
you have to ignore SST; if you ignore SST, why using ? AFAIK, SST on 
opensips is just controlling the dialog lifetime and terminates the call 
if no re-INVITE.

More or less these were the arguments that made me come to this 
approach: if it is not released, people are not too eager to use/test ; 
if it is released, they expect to be fully stable release . So we could 
not take the advantage of the community testing the code (of course, 
without risks).

Bogdan
