There is no such cat and mouse game for Android though.  So why not 
embrace that?

Which you would get (although not as much) with F-Droid.  One thing to
consider is that nobody is going to casually come across a MythTV
frontend in the Google Play store and install it and then embark on
installing a whole MythTV BE to use it.

Rather, it's existing MythTV BE users that are going to seek out the
Android FE and in their search, the MythTV wiki can introduce them to
F-Droid to obtain it.

FOSS was just an aside.  The main point was that you don't have to use
the Google Play store.  There are alternatives.

Cheers,
