Folks,

Due to the addition of the auto phone provisioning service we are going 
to remove the old device discovery feature. See:
http://track.sipfoundry.org/browse/XX-8337

The main reasons are:
1. The discovery didn't reliably work and could cause issues in large 
subnets. We actually had system stability issues seen with this due to 
impatient people clicking on discover multiple times on a class b subnet.
2. The discovery didn't' work across subnets.
3. The phone provisioning service will make phones "appear" in the phone 
table automatically.

The one down side is that non-Polycom or Avaya/Nortel 1200 won't show up 
automatically as those phones don't support the auto provisioning added. 
We can work with community folks if they want to try and add other 
phones for the provisioning service.

This doesn't affect any phone plug-ins and/only affects the device 
discovery feature. If you can think why this isn't a good idea feel free 
to speak up..

Regards,

Al
