Probably if I didn't want someone to be able to change that field, I
probably should not have made it a configuration option.

Antonio,

I feel as though you are making a few assumptions about our general
attitude.
I think the reactions from the original request are fueled more from
reliving the frustration of other devices who do not provide a fingerprint
in their sdp to actually lock on to behavioral changes that prevent issues
that could have been avoided.  *cough* sonus *cough*

Having people make more noise about the fact that they are using FreeSWITCH
is always a good thing but we never aim to force anyone to do something.
One of the true benefits of open source is you can selectively choose to
not care at all about someone's mind-melting business requirements that aim
to unravel everything.
(Until you make the mistake of taking them on as a customer =D )

The guy has his param and I trust he is sleeping better now.
