Ok, I'll check it out soon

That's ok, you can base your work off any stable sipxecs version you
want (e.g. 4.4), you maintain your custom patches. You also submit
your contribution to sipXecs upstream (e.g. 4.5) so that in the next
sipXecs release (e.g. 4.6), you can remove patches.

The goal is to unload as many patches as you can because
1.) they are a burden to maintain and remove conflicts
2.) if you modify LGPL code you have to make it public anyway
3.) submitting it upstream means users will test it
4.) submitting it upstream means developers will maintain it (at least
maintain it more than they would by not having the code)
5.) more likely to get fixes/improvements/feedback
