You probably won't get any signoffs, as ISDN was never used outside Europe AFAIK (especially US never had ISDN to my knowledge) and nobody uses it anymore even here. I guess if it works for you, you can simply move it.
Do we really need this in core? The idea was to provide an internet connection to people after installation (that's why we include ppp, various VPN systems and wireless drivers). But ISDN offers such a slow-band connection (64KBit/s on one B channel, 128KBit/s if you bundle two B channels) that you won't be able to continue installing Arch anyway. My suggestion is to move this to extra. Well as usual depends on the person. DSL and other connection types make 56k modems and isdn probably not that needed anymore. If other devs vote for moving to extra i'm fine with that. I'm probably the only one who uses this package in combination with hylafax.
