What exactly do you two mean by this? MythTV is the target or CentOS is 
the target? Of what?

I happen to host MythTV on CentOS. Finding the right repo for packages 
has been a problem. It was ATrpms. And now that some of the users have 
stepped up it still is.

Why does it sound like the stability of Red Hat/CentOS is a *bad* thing 
for you? It sounds like you want to target the ever shifting sands of 
something like Fedora. A distro that demands updating once or twice a year.
