they're not getting with UDP. At that point I think the whole debate
will resolve itself because the number of implementations wanting to use
UDP will drop.

i would think that the drop will be faster if there is no support for UDP in outbound.

I don't. The problem is not that UAs don't support TCP. The problems is that proxies don't support TCP on a large scale. Now we have had some posts that it is possible to build proxies with lots of TCP connections but if people want to encourage the move to TCP, I think the best thing they could do is help people understand how to build large scale TCP proxies.
