asterisk users - Oct 2008 - Cisco Dropping SIP support?

Earlier today I glanced at Junction Networks blog and was surprised to
find a post indicating that Cisco was dropping SIP support in their
79xx series phones. Here's t

Is this true? What are they thinking? Only SCCP?

AFAIK the other way around is true. Cisco is dropping SCCP. The new
firmware is for SIP only but it's with some Cisco extensions as the
latest CCMs are using SIP as preferred protocol. Could be that Cisco
drops the "standard" SIP FW though.
