-       A new way of doing BLF pickup was introduced into 1.6.2. This feature adds a
-       call-id value into the XML of a SIP_NOTIFY message sent to alert a subscriber
-       that a device is ringing. This option should only be enabled when the new
-       'notifycid' option is set, but this was not the case. Instead the call-id
-       value was included for every RINGING Notify message, which caused a
-       regression for people who used other methods for call pickup.
-       (Closes issue #17633. Reported, patched by urosh. Patched by dvossel.
-       Tested by: dvossel, urosh, okrief, alecdavis)
