It's quite suitable if the desire is simply to route based on that 
criteria.

However, it falls apart once you start looking for to do some of the 
other things commercial SBCs out there do per se.

99% of our business comes from Kamailio-related consulting.  We've done 
plenty of those projects.  We've had folks come to us looking for us to 
build SBCs, complete with media hairpinning, to front Metaswitches and 
so on.  It's not a good idea.  Never again.  Nowadays, when they're 
looking for something like that, I send them looking toward SEMS (SIP 
Express Media Server), or the SBC appliance that Frafos has 
commercialised on top of it:
