Douglas, maybe I'm misunderstanding something when you say use phone groups.
You are referring to the Groups within sipXecs device configuration, is that
correct?  Or a different concept?

If the suggestion is to attach the firmware and bootrom to the Group within
sipXecs, I see your point on that.  However, if there are different models
of phones in the same group, then there could be issues.  I guess the simple
answer is to have multiple groups then, defined by the model of phone.
Input from someone with a large installation as to how manageable that would
be would be helpful.  And it does seem to get back full circle to it being
defined by the model of phone.

Using phone groups shouldn't be a rewrite.

In general, if anyone submits a patch that :
* is an improvement over what we have today
* doesn't prohibit us from improving on it later (i.e. take us down the
wrong path)

seems reasonable it would be accepted.
