Hello
Wouldn't the correct way of handling call limits, be using the Call Group
Applications available in Asterisk?

This is broken behaviour.
I don't know why we have the distinction of users and peers in the first
place. A single entry with something along the line of "calltype"
taking
"incoming", "outgoing" or "both" would be far
clearer and eliminate all this
inconsistency.
Call-limiting not working with users is just as dumb an idea as users not
being able to trunk calls in iax2. They're artificial boundaries set up for
no reason other than to force a distinction between the two types of entries.
Eliminate all the crap and let me use the damn PBX how I want; that's one of
the biggest features of Asterisk. Stop trying to protect me for my own good.
Document the shit, make it consistent and let the community support the
clueless. You don't see this kind of crap with apache, openswan, postfix or
even the kernel itself.
There's no need to tie my hands behind my back in order to protect the newb.
All you'll end up with is a system only newbs want to use.
Before anyone accuses me of not putting my money where my mouth is: I've
submitted a number of patches over the years to correct or address what I
consider inconsistencies, and I do what I can to test out trunk, report bugs
and document. I'm doing what I can to help the system. :-)
