We are talking about this particular project

which had no release so far, but needs an identity. Next version of
kamailio will still be named kamailio and include the modules inherited
from kamailio, probably including some modules from ser as well.
this is news to me. i'm pretty sure that there was a plan that 1.5 will
be the last version of kamailio, but haven't checked mail archives.
I haven't checked them either but AFAIK 1.5 was supposed to be the last
version _not_ based on sip-router.
From a technical point of view is just not possible to
merge everything
till September. We have a lot of modules we have not even began to
discuss, we have completely different DB schemes a.s.o.
So while the goal is to completely merge kamailio and ser under
sip-router (with perhaps some duplicate modules), it will take a while
(hopefully 1 extra release cycle will be enough).
if that will not be the case, it would have made no sense to start
putting all kinds of migration documentation there. we should have
simply kept on using the k site and update the docs there.
if you plan to keep on using name kamailio, then you can do whatever
name changes you want there when you package next version of kamailio.
i'm not going to be any part of that, but keep on using and contributing
only to sip router project.
regarding modules, everyone can pick from modules subdirs whatever
modules they like to use. over time it would make sense to try to unite
k and ser modules when feasible in order to save maintenance resources.
Yes, there is a lot of work ahead of us (discuss on a module by module
basis, decide on the DB schema, new module interface a.s.o.) but we'll
slowly get there. So far at least from my point of view the priority is
to be able to build a stable kamailio and ser distributions out of
sip-router.
