I agree. An "install all and disable unneeded" is bad from a security perspective as well. As we all know SIP products are in the crosshairs of hackers everywhere with recent automated attacks. This is only going to get worse. The more that is installed, the more attack surface there is.
I also would like to see "lightweight" integration as you mentioned in your blog. In the case of openfire there are a lot of features/modules we would love to use as a company, but it's too cumbersome to use "hidden" features using the integrated version. If not using the integrated version, then we lose too much. Essentially we can only use what is available out of the box... My votes for vNext are: - VMail redundancy in HA config - More Branch Support for features, esp. dial plans - More modularized so there is less dependencys. Essentially move to an install as needed model. Also allow direct control over integrated products such as openfire. The modularized model should also make adding lightweight integrations easier allowing sipx to work with more products. It should also make it easier for "third parties" to write integrations with the product. Is this going to be hard? Yes. Is there going to be a lot of secure information going back and forth between sipx and some third party products (openfire). Yes. I don't think either reason is a showstopper though and the benefits are just too good to overlook. Just my 2 cents...
