The latter.

Since getting EPG data is somewhat time critical and you probably  
don't want to wait for the next XMLTV release, let alone new packages  
of your favourite distribution, you probably need to patch your  
grabber *if* epgdata decides to indeed change their protocol  
permanently. But that is unlikely.
But that's the reason why you should have continued this discussion on  
the XMLTV mailing list, this doesn't have anything to do with MythTV,  
and you'll get any necessary instructions there.
