Ok, I do agree here too.

It's a clean "policy" to have a "clean standard" distro and several "patches" 
that add aggregator features.

But problems arrise from this: If it is "part of Kannel", people will require us 
(the group, the mailing list) to support it... hense we'd need Mantis entries 
for those to keep bug tracking, etc. etc. etc.

So we obviously have the same effect as if we had it in the distro.

So it should be a sort of "contrib" place, where we define clearly, you can have 
it, use it, but don't blame us for it.
