Clearly there's some sort of power struggle going on here. Is the users list the place to discuss it?

fwiw, I use JYAs backport and very much appreciate the effort he's put into it.
I'm not concerned at all if it breaks the upgrade path. It works fine as is so I see no reason to upgrade.
If I ever do, I will do so knowing it may break and enjoy the challenge of fixing it.

Usenet has a mythtv group that sees very little traffic. Maybe JYA would consider using that group as a discussion area for his port.

That way, the few posts pertaining to his port that end up here wouldn't distract from the discussions on HDD MTBF and Rocketraid.
