That said, this page does speak to a number of the concerns, even if somewhat vaguely:
http://sip-router.org/answers/
I am not clear on what exactly the SIP-Router project is, nor how it will affect me? Is Kamailio eventually being replaced with SIP-Router once all the functionalities have been rolled in? Will my entire configuration script need to be reworked to eventually operate with this new platform? Can anyone explain to me why this merge is happening so soon after Kamailio split with OpenSIPS? All this turmoil feels very destructive to me.
This is a confusing topic, and could definitely use additional discussion and official clarification.
I have been made to understand that Kamailio will not be replaced by sip-router. It is rather that sip-router is a a "common core" that integrates both Kamailio and sip-router modules, and that both projects will share this common core going forward, but remain distinct. The analogy provided to me by Daniel was of Linux kernels vs. distributions.
This seems fair enough, but it doesn't adequately explain who sip-router is intended for and who Kamailio is intended for, and who should use which and why and under what circumstances. It does also seem that most of the development and documentation energy is being concentrated into sip-router integration, which leaves open the question of what the future of Kamailio is.
This definitely needs to be discussed more. Thank you very much for raising it, Geoffrey.
