No specifics, at this time, too early in evaluation.  

I get the point, I think, about thousands of "buttons".  

My concerns are the ability to answer on multiple lines, and have various
options,upon no pickup, including have selected (or all) unanswered calls ring
thru to, or be picked up by, an admin or "catch all" operator.

I was assured this was "cake" for asterisk, but was concerned by the
article.

I suspect the article is referring to BLF, which is a traditional Key 
System feature.  It does not scale well in larger PBXs.

BLF support is not great (in Asterisk OR in phones) for SIP.
