The big question in my mind would be: why the need to fork mythtv in the
first place, rather than contribute into the main project? This helps
nobody IMHO.
Whoever forked my theme content might do well to change the README files
in there too since I don't want to be associated with a badly coded fork
of mythtv.
As for _any_ program needing to gain root privileges to do basic stuff -
it's BAD, end of story. The very fact it's using 'sudo' is beside the
point.
