Description:Hi,
would like to propose the following change:
- currently, Asterisk displays "Asterisk PBX" in the User-Agent SIP header. One can change this behavior in sip.conf by setting the useragent variable.
I would like to suggest to change the default to also display the Asterisk version (same as asterisk -V).  If one care about privacy, security or whatever, they could set the useragent variable in sip.conf.
Purpose: to do better diagnostics when running multiple instances, when troubleshooting remote asterisk servers you do not manage, etc...  This is also a common practice in SIP devices.
