I think this is being handled badly but that sort of the way it is for a few days anyway. Shortly 0.22 will be unmasked as stable if it isn't already, but there are LOTS and LOTS of things we need to be careful about when changing or the Myth database will get messed up and possibly be unusable. It seems that a few devs can decide that something like qt3 is enough to force people to move forward. I've got 5 x64/amd64 frontends plus a backend PPC server. I'm not convinced they thought about this sort of mixed environment issue but that's the way it is. I am expecting that it's going to be a bad couple of weeks.... I'd like to find some sort of sunset overlay for 0.21 but I haven't looked. Let me know if you go that way. - Mark
