Isn't it amazing how quiet things go when you ask users for help :)

I really don't care what happens to MythCenter-wide in the repo now 
since for my own sanity I use my own fork of MythTV which includes my 
own version of the theme.

So do whatever you like with it. Just don't come crying to me when the 
users start to complain. They really don't like change.
