Is there a reason? Take hollidays, will go better after ;-)

This will not handicap KDE users?

Thanks for this info and for superb job you made with your team. It was 
spoken about SIP on this list, I have to say that no one of SIP clients 
are on the level of GM. That's why I'm waiting this feature in GM. And 
then you will work on a windows version, then implement IAX, then ... So 
please, stay motivated :-)

Take care.
