Actually, I'm pretty sure I said *B2BUA's* change the Call-ID and tags, and that there were far more than just SBCs.  Honestly, most every box I see traces from appears to be a b2bua of some form or other these days. (of course that's probably because of the types of networks my product's in to begin with, so it's a myopic view I know)  Some of these b2bua's change the call-id+tags, some don't.

The set of the universe is not germane to the issue at hand.  Many B2BUA's change call-id+tags; that says nothing about whether they change other things.  And it says nothing about their motivation for the changes.

SBC's cannot "catch up" to not change call-id's - it's what their owners want them to do.  Speaking as just one vendor, we don't change call-id's and tags by *default*.  Virtually EVERYONE changes that default behavior and configures us to change the call-id and tags as soon as they install the system.  That doesn't mean they will change anything no matter what - they have specific motivation for changing the call-id.  The IETF SIP WG gave them that motivation, by putting an IP Address in it.  That was a mistake.  It was a big mistake.
