Yeah, I'm not expecting anything soon.  .21 is a few months out
(assuming that Isaac decides to do that instead of .20.1), and .22
should be another long span as they rework the UI stuff.

FC3 will get EOL'd in a week or so, so I can't feel too bad about it.
There comes a point when if you want to run the latest version of
something like mythtv, you'll just have to upgrade.

That's not a decision for me.  I'd also like to see a move to mysql 4.1
or 5, but too many people (including devs) are still running 3.23.
