Frankly, I'm fine with 911 not working on VoIP lines; I have a cell phone
for that when needed.  Now that I think about it, I'm not sure I've ever
actually dialed 911 from a land line.

You're lying on the floor incapacitated and in agony, suffering from some
acute and life threatening medical condition. Your neighbour finds you.
He picks up your landline phone, dials 911 and hears "911 service is not
available from this phone please use another phone...". He goes looking
for another phone while you die and rest in peace.
