I am not commenting on how popular it is overall. 
I am commenting on the specific demand presented to us.
I don't know what else to say to explain that I am completely neutral when it comes to this topic.

One more time:

1) We are an open source project who volunteer most of our time as well as paid commercial support.
2) We made mod_opal anyway despite only a small handful of requests.
3) The devs from OPAL are consultants for hire and like us, they will look at what they can for free but you can hire them to heighten their attention span.

This is not a discussion on the merits of h323, I am more than happy to support it.  The OPAL guys are some of the best open source telephony guys out there and they have been doing this for over a decade.  We Just can't promise a whole lot of man hours towards it when we already work day and night managing jira with only a few managers.  We also cannot make any promises on the free time the OPAL devs have to devote to it either.

H323 may not be popular for small ITSPs or small/medium PBXes, but
it's widely used by the big players.. and freeswitch doesnt share the
same goals with asterisk.



Best wishes,
