"Important" is subjective, of course. However, if I'm going to put the
effort into maintaining/securing a server for data I consider
important (TV isn't important to me, but my music library is), I might
as well add more (now relatively inexpensive drives) to it to store
ALL my data.

I wouldn't set people in two camps. I think the flexibility of mythtv
lends itself towards building what you can afford - that is the camp
we're all in.
