I'll chime in as another who would rather not have to upgrade right now;
running 0.24 on some older Fedora (16?), and it all works well right now,
reasonable WAF etc.  I do want to do a full OS and Myth fresh upgrade
relatively soon, but that never goes completely pain-free; usually not due
to Myth itself but to annoying "enhancements" (Nouveau drivers that are
hard to kill, PulseAudio, LIRC incompatibilities, NetworkManager have all
tripped my installs up in the past, but Myth database update hangs were an
issue at one point).

I fully understand that older OSes and Myth releases are not supported and
that if I have issues I'd need to upgrade first, but am hoping to delay
that until I can do it on my own timeline.  I'm sure there are many in this
position, and it sounds like the host file change is the most seamless
patch currently.  I will probably try it out next weekend, while there's
still time to bite the bullet and upgrade all if it doesn't pan out.
