Lack of interest Implement "Phone Calls" via Open Source

Suggestion:

Implement "Phone Calls" into XenForo, so that members can talk with each other on the phone.

Use "Open Source"-software for free worldwide encrypted phone calls.

Oh, I can see that going over (like a bomb) on a shared hosting environment.
Pretty much the same reason that you don't really see server hosted chat programs working well on a shared hosting environment.
Probably a better target towards an add-on (1st or 3rd party) than a core feature.
And yeah, I know.. they don't "have to use it"... but how often have you seen requests for help that basically boiled down to the admin overloading the shared hosting environment due to add-on's/features that they installed/enabled without knowing how it would effect the performance of their site and then griping about it.
