I have the feeling of recognizing discussions during specifications of ISDN supplementary services. Here also the point was made to simply redial up to the proposal to do it automatically. These discussions had an end when BT during the nineties had to face the fact that in their network automatically fast redialling fax machines seized significant carrier resources. Thus an exponentially increasing interval between automatic redial attempts was introduced. This was not seen as a convenient solution for voice calls.
IMO a redial approach is quit inferior to what could be offered by CC functionality - for the caller (assumed CC is supported at callee side), the callee (unnecessary ringing) and carrier (save of resources).

I don't think there will be a 'versus'. CC will be an additional enhancement to the basic 'repeated dialing' feature. So it is also in my ISDN terminal. But I use the repeat dialing only when there is no indication that CC is possible, because my call will be queued anyway.
