Ahhh.  The fun of describing a complex idea in a mailing list... 
Misunderstandings all around.  :)

Myth supports using one lineup for multiple video sources specifically
because TMS (and, by proxy, SD) doesn't support creating multiple
lineups using the same provider.

So, no need to get upset with/scold those who misunderstand the specific
question being asked or the point being made.  I would tend to think
that users--who will be most familiar with their own particular
configurations--will tend to miss the distinction as long as we have
Myth/SD/one-lineup per provider/ability to use one lineup for multiple
video sources (a.k.a. "caching support"--though caching is only the
capability that makes this ability more efficient rather than enabling it).
