Are pinefrog-rtcp branches reliable?

As I understand Pinefrog allows to keep RTCP data for each call in database. This is exactly what I’m trying to achieve. Another way to do it - enable rtcp debug and parse log files. One more option - show channel stats via - [quote]asterisk -rx “sip show channelstats” > rtcp_stats.log[/quote]

What are the benefits of using Pinefrog comparing to ways mentioned above ? There are 3 branches for 1.6,1.8 and 11 Asterisk with Pinefrog. Are these branches reliable ?

Sadly there no many information about Pinefrog. Maybe Asterisk 12 allows to do it out of the box.
