Bug#1031046: Asterisk not in Bookworm

[Patrik Schindler]

Hello,

I also was caught by surprise that Asterisk isn't included in Bookworm. What's more, this (for servers) important package is not mentioned in the official documentation about caveats!

https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/amd64/release-notes/ch-information.en.html

Following the discussion, I wonder, why Asterisk wasn't kept under limited security support, like binutils?

Also, other packages provide new upstream versions instead of burdening the maintainers with tedious porting of fixes to keep an earlier release. I know Debian is famous for this mindset, but sometimes pragmatism beats ideology?
