For fixed conference numbers that is true, but MeetMeCount needs a room number as an argument, within extensions.conf (AFAIK). I want one access extension for all conferences, and I call MeetMe without a room number, so that the caller is prompted for it interactively. The fact that meetme.conf is read afresh each time someone joins a conference is great - I can have a process that just rewrites the file each time a room needs to be created or deleted. But I don't see any way to use MeetMeCount in this context, which is why I'm thinking of enhancing the code. Similarly for conditional gotos based on time: I would need them to be room specific on a common extension.
