|The Network Providers have implemented the signalling according to the
|ITU Q.933 standard and FRF Implementation agreement 4.  It behooves us
|not to create extra work on the network providers to take out a feature.
|Common bidirectional QOS can be implemented with no changes to the current
|RFC 1604 interface.  It offers no added value to change the interface.
|If it is not used let it be.  Simply, it is not broke: don't try to fix it.
