I think the biggest win would be if this allowed them to arrange  
things so that all DB access went through the backend.  Having the  
frontends talking to the DB directly adds another level of  
complication -- you have to configure access control in MySQL, and  
you have to make sure the MySQL port is open on any firewalls between  
the two systems.  Better to embed that in the same control channel  
MythTV is already using, in my opinion.
