Singed up friday, and then went through the painful process of
upgrading 1 backend and 2 frontends from 0.19 to 0.20.2..

The prepackaged myth binaries required tons of upgrades as usual
(Debian sarge to etch plus a few dozen unstable packages) breaking
lots of minor things like squid, cups, nis, nfs (nfs sure breaks in
suttle ways when rpc.statd just isn't started for some reason
post-upgrade)

Schedules Direct seems to work just fine.  The upgrade of mythtv itself
wasn't bad but now I have to get used to a different set of bugs...

Only 3 misterious backend crashes so far :(
