And since mythtv-setup has an actual UI, with which to ask you if you 
really want to upgrade the schema and to give you information in the 
event of failures (i.e. failure to create a pre-upgrade backup, etc.), I 
highly recommend you run mythtv-setup immediately after upgrading from 
one version to another, and before running mythbackend on the master 
backend host after upgrading.
