[mythtv] Plans for the new 'recordedprogram' and related tables?

I notice the new recordedprogram table, along with buddies
recordedcredits and recordedrating.   Recorded program is now being
used in ProgramInfo and duplicating a lot of info from 'recorded'.

What are the plans with these new tables?  Will recordedprogram
replace recorded?   Where is information on genres for recorded
(and oldrecorded) programs going to be kept in the new system?
Will the programgenres table maintain it forever?

I'm doing a Tivo-like "suggestions" system which wants to train itself
by looking at the genres, credits and titles of old recordings, along
with explicit user commands.

(On another note, it would be handy for such systems if the oldrecorded
table remembered a few other things, such as whether or not the
recording came from a suggestion, since you don't want to train on
suggestions -- too recursive -- though you do want to train on whether
the user watched a suggestion or not, and whether they deleted it or
let it expire, watched or unwatched.)

I probably will end up building a new table of all suggestions made,
which would allow me to detect them appearing in record/recorded/oldrecorded

Not playing with any thumbs up/down yet.  Not really sure that system in
the Tivo is all that useful.  I think more explicit inputs, and imported
inputs from others, make more sense.
