But there come the catch-22 / chicken-egg thing..

To test some functionality or code, you have to be able to actually
run mythtv in an almost production manner...

I don't mind working on the stability of the whole thing but if that
means being without TV for a few weeks, I'm not sure I want to start
on that path.

Now, trunk is so uninviting to anyone else but a small minority and
people are so discouraged to try than well, few do. So few bug
reports, few participants and it takes forever between releases...

Currently the only way someone can be tempted to run trunk is to have
two completely separate setup. One with 0.21 fixes that works well and
is stable.. And 0.22 for the spare time allowed to test and debug.

Mind you, I'm just about to do just that, waiting for various parts to arrive.

Well, as I posted earlier, I'm very keen on testing your new theme...
The various screen captures you provided were awesome.

And I'm good at finding stuff that don't work :)
