Well, the at least please post something on the website letting users 
know that and maybe even a note to the user list.  I think it is a shame 
that there isn't more concern for the users of this project but it is 
something I've come to expect.  There appears to already be a script 
posted to the myth-users list that looks to fit the bill and if someone 
on the development team could simply check it for validity and present 
it to the userbase, I think it would be far more appreciated than : 
upgrade your system, we can't help you.
