I was intending to ask the good devs on the list here, what is the
prognosis for a Mythbuntu release upon 14.04 release?
Personally, I'm dubious. It's *sort* of stable now, in its later beta
stage, but for production?
Dunno.

Now, for the record, *all* of my production boxes here are 12.04-LTS.
LTS is *stable*. Anything else is not.
