That's my baseline position, and the reason I ask.  However, I'm not sure 
how it works with Mythtv development, what with the need for fairly 
complete, consistent database info and actual hardware requirements for 
tuning and recording.

Are there instructions somewhere for setting up the "standard" development 
system alongside a production system, including maybe how to set up a 
dummy tuner (or "steal" a tuner from production only when not needed), and 
how to clone and upgrade your production data (including symlinks to the 
video files, so deletes won't affect production)?
