     comms/asterisk is ancient and probably riddled with security
holes.  The only reason it was allowed to live was because it was the
only version with hardware support.  Now that the comms/zaptel-netbsd
package has been deleted (it didn't work on modern NetBSD anyways),
that reason is no longer present.  Asterisk 11.0.0 Beta 1 has been
announced.  Once Asterisk 11, which is a Long Term Support version, is
released, I'm going to install it into comms/asterisk.
