I think now is as good a time as any. Given the 6 month release cycle
for Ubuntu and the accelerated release schedule for MythTV, I wouldn't
want to get too far behind on OS updates.

About two months ago I migrated to 10.04 from 8.04 and let me tell
you, I don't want to get that far behind again. Now that I've got a
nice clean system I'll be able to keep up with dist-upgrades without
much fuss.
