And that is a real problem for those who are trying to
extend the reach of MythTv with packaged
distributions.  KnoppMyth is the best ally you ever
had because it makes it far easier to get a Myth box
up and running.  But without SOME committment to
producing a stable release you just cut the legs out
from under it.

Of all the open-source projects I deal with, MythTv is
unique in this regard.  All other projects I use and
participate in try to come up with a stable,
relatively bug free release from time to time.  They
freeze feature sets on a date and then allow some time
for testing.  Yes, it slows down development for a few
weeks, but it results in happier users.
