What is the need of newer ABI ? is it because of ffmpeg built within
mythtv ? or mythtv code that dropped older x264 API ?

I understand that mythtv has a Network protocol that would requires
several component to be at the same version. But why users are just
upgrading to the new mythtv in F-17 instead ? This will also lead to a
problem when EL-6 mythtv built will miss one or another dependency ?
When to stop the updates there ?

According to the update policy, several points would make this update
not acceptable for stable update.
