The myth source tree is not managed in that way, alas.

You can pull the source for any given day using CVS, if you hear
reports that the source was nice and stable on that day -- or at least
avoid days where it was known to be unstable.  Traffic on myth-dev will
give you some clue on that.

Right now seems pretty good though I am working through a transcode
issue.  A week or so ago there was a database change that temporarily
broke all the plug-ins but that was short lived.
