I don't have first-hand experience or an opinion on this matter, but just 
wanted to comment on how refreshingly welcome it is to have this discussion at 
all - without Open Source, we'd simply be stuck with a "Vista" type software 
(if I believe those who expressed concerns about 1.8).

I do have one question: what about the ecosystem? Many people don't use 
Asterisk by itself, but as part of distributions (PBX in a Flash, Trixbox, ...) 
and with tools such as FreePBX to configure it. How ready is the ecosystem for 
moving to a new Asterisk version?
