It indeed would be very late for such a change. But I would still probably side on the allowing side, due to the sum of the following reasons (which are not reasons enough on their own): - maintainer wants to include it and is running it himself anyway, so it gets good testing and support - MythTV has major releases very rarely (at least so far), but the release branches seem to be supported for a long time (unless I misinterpret their version numbers) - bugs affecting the upgrade of the distribution are unlikely, since this is a leaf package - bugs affecting the installation of the distribution are unlikely, since mythtv is not part of any default installation - all bugs can still be fixed with /updates, and mythtv is not part of any release media AFAICS - we don't have /backports for providing this afterwards However, if other people are against this, I guess it is better not to do it. -- Anssi Hannula
