I'm not worried about pissing anyone off and tempted to help merge the 
opensips patches myself, but then the real work would be in making sure 
I don't introduce any regressions as I'm not able to fully QA/debug the 
intricacies that could result.  (Thus not sure the end benefit would be 
positive or uselessly take away from other core devs.)  I suppose at the 
very least watching the bug tracking/commit logs would make sense for 
the short term.  If a decision is made on this I'd hope it will be 
published on the website.  For anyone still left with making a decision 
at that point it would be clear kamailio is the clear choice since it 
would contain the combined efforts as apposed to just a *perceived* half 
the pie.
