I was just going to mention that I've seen user DB's get broken by
accidentally dropping tables (including the settings table) or by
accidentally deleting settings such as DBSchemaVer (i.e. when a schema
upgrade failed and they're trying to "fix" it), but I see you got there
before me.  :)  Granted, in these cases the upgrade itself will fail,
but at least the user will have a backup they can use for
http://mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-23.html#ss23.7 .

Thanks,
