No, but you might get snapped at for fanning the flames.  In fact, I 
think you would find quite the opposite.  Everyone here is very much 
involved in how to make their boxes better.  I myself am streaming my 
music using UPnP to a HomePod music player in my living room.  Myth 
doesn't always fit every situation but nor should it be crammed into 
every.  Dan has found a way to meet his needs as have you, but you'll 
note both have also been done without adding excess checkboxes and 
infrequently used features to the product.  I think you would also find 
a great deal of interest if someone were to code a UPnP extension to 
Myth (which I believe is what the MFD/MFE part of the codebases are 
destined for).   There is a right way and a wrong way to participate 
with this project.  Unfortunately, too many people think they have the 
best idea since sliced bread or that just one more option won't hurt 
when in reality, it has all been seen before and there has already been 
work done to reduce the confusion of options rather than increase them.
