Your observation is correct. This package I am working with "mythtv" has |
| 9 |
been around for years. Users customize it incorrectly and once working |
| 10 |
are reluctant to change it. They still want to upgrade to get |
| 11 |
features/bug fixes. I am guilty of improper use of the mythtv user |
| 12 |
myself. There is a lot of old documentation that uses it improperly. |

I am reluctant to introduce unexpected changes to old systems. This |
| 15 |
update will force consideration that maybe the mythtv user is being |
| 16 |
misused; while manually restoring (or creating a custom overlay) after |
| 17 |
acct-user/mythtv is emerged on the system. Once installed |
| 18 |
acct-user/mythtv is not usually reinstalled. It should not need manual |
| 19 |
restoration often. |
