Note, he said:
I would prefer to see a "register = yes" directive in the "type = peer" sections of both sip.conf and iax.conf, rather than the current method of using a separate "register => whatever" directive. The current method could be maintained for backward compatibility, of course.
with the emphasis on 'backward compatibility'
However, I would think that ast_data would resolve the issue of handling large numbers of sip entries. And in that case, putting the register=yes as an entry under a peer or friend category would seem to fit the design quite well.
