For clarification, it is still used in server side, affecting the 
presence modules and dialog (didn't review all to see if any other is) 
when used on the same instance.

If you refer to sip user agent because presence generates a request 
(e.g., NOTIFY), then it is ok -- I wanted to be sure will not be 
misinterpreted by readers that it refers to the case when using kamailio 
as client (e.g., for remote registrations). In other words, this 
function should be used if contact is not stored anywhere for later 
usage inside same kamailio instance (memory or database).
