Lelio,

When we were considering this, we were going to have to come up with
some other solution for centralized config. Almost any endpoint will
do centralized config, just not from callmanager. We are capable of
maintaining two systems but we did decide it wasn't worth it.

I could definitely see someone writing a config generator though, and
having the devices TFTP those down from a central store. That's
probably what we would have done.

Oh, and I’m not a pro, but from what I understand, they don’t understand tftp config so you stuck configuring each device manually.
