Nicolas,

Are you just going to force a rebuild or are you going to increment
the release tag? If you're planning on doing the latter, please copy
(or merge) the changelog for MythTV as I put inportant information for
those already running F16 as the service is changing from Sysv to
systemd and will no longer run mythbackend as root.

Thanks,
Richard
