Hi Jiri,
Have you ever consider a fork as an option driven by technical needs?? Like to do
something totally different than you have and than the other people want to do.
After 7 year of SER/OpenSER I (and many other) got to simplest conclusion that the current
design is not able to sustain the progress
of SER / OpenSER (like scripting, async calls, integration, scaling, etc) ? Mainly because
SER was design 7 years ago when there was only
stateless processing, no TCP, etc....
And I personally do not see any future in keep trying to patch the existing design as it
has no future. If SER and kamilio want to go on
this path, fine with me, not my problem, happy for your joined effort.
But not point in black the idea of somebody forking into a different direction than yours
- nature invented forking for seeking new alternatives!
I like the go for new alternatives instead of blocking into a dead-end.
Regards,
Bogdan

"Serial forking" is not the kind of business I'm interested here at all.
In fact, I think forking is a VERY BAD THING to do and I'm very strongly
opposed to attempts discouraging unforking and encouraging other forks.
More funded opinions than mine can be for example found here:

Therefore thanks again to anyone putting effort on unforking!
