Here’s a link to the minutes: https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/
display/AST/AstriDevCon+2014
It has you saying: Leif: we're in a transition, moving from dialplan
model to external control model. Probably need external application
to be built for us to move completely away from AMI/AGI.
So you’re saying Asterisk is moving away from the dial plan or were
you misquoted?

Paul,
I think you are getting worked up way too early in this process. This is one comment with only a little bit of context surrounding it. Such a major change would take quite awhile to make and there would be plenty of warning before it happens, with plenty of opportunities to discuss. The dial plan isn't going away tomorrow and if it does ever go away, there will be plenty of time to work out a transition plan.
Looking at the path development has taken, it seems pretty clear that they have been working towards enabling greater external control of what Asterisk does, making it the engine that can drive other media applications. Doesn't mean it can't and won't be used as a traditional pbx, but to grow what it does will require some changes.
If being a mature part of Asterisk means that something shouldn't be changed, we should also protest the move from the current SIP stack to pjsip. There are any number of reasons to deprecate mature code. It may not be needed or something better may come along.
All I can say is that having experience with a few versions of Asterisk, it seems to get better and more stable as new versions come along. Perhaps a bit of faith that they are not trying to kill off their product simply by having a discussion at a dev conference is in order.
