Maybe, maybe not... At the moment, most of the changes are dependent on
other things done in mythdora -- creating /storage and a hierarchy
underneath it for all mythtv-related storage and forcing the user to
install some themes not included in the base theme package (blootube
this release, retro last release). We also prefer xine over mplayer.

http://devel.wilsonet.com/mythdora/mythtv-0.21-mythdora-settings.patch
http://devel.wilsonet.com/mythdora/mythplugins-0.21-mythdora-settings.patch

So taking these entirely would require the mythtv packages lay down
the /storage/* paths, hard-require blootube and blootube-osd[1], as well
as xine.

[1] I've been meaning to point out that many of the theme packages on
atrpms.net, including all the blootube variants, are in need of updates
to behave better with 0.21.
