[SR-Users] RFC: about sl and tm local-response event routes

[Daniel-Constantin Mierla]

Hi Federico,

local-request stays the same (that's rather used based on mailing list
discussions).

I proposed to change the local-response to local-response-sent (I don't
remember any discussion about people using it, I checked the commit log
and was added by Peter Dunkley several years ago, I never used it so far).

Cheers,
Daniel
