It would not be without good reasons.

This solution is being developed in conjunction with the XMLTV team. It's 
essentially a process external to MythTV but with the input of both Schedules 
Direct board members and MythTV developers who are also XMLTV developers.

Please do not form the impression that we've had plenty of time to work on a

when you did, one month ago.
