I am in the same boat with Willem.  I would not be a MythTV user if it
weren't for the work Axel, Jarod and others have done to make MythTV
easy to install on Fedora.  Thanks!

I also have extensive experience with yum at work; we use it to manage
over 5,000 RHEL workstations and servers.  As a home user of yum, I
found protectbase to be a "good thing" (tm).

If it were included in FC5 but disabled, I think that would be a step in
the right direction.
