I think you do a confusion at this particular time. Kamailio project 
goes on because there are overlapping modules from ser that won't be 
integrated. I don't think that people would be happy to drop modules 
from a side or another (e.g., like auth modules that are present in both 
modules_k and modules_s).

We are talking about this particular project hosted by sip-router.org 
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.

As it seems a pure ser release is not planned yet, we can stick with 
this name for a while, because it is there and it is unique. In 
kamailio, we do releases every 6 months, therefore September is just 
about the time.

Cheers,
Daniel
