Completed my upgrade to 0.26.1 from 0.24 (via Debian Stable upgrade) 
last weekend and it's been rock solid so far.  Had the usual niggly LIRC 
issues and a few sound issues for apps outside of Myth but the 
mythfrontend / backend combo has been great so far.  Can't really tell 
much difference functionality-wise from previous version.
Will see how it performs over the next few months and then consider an 
upgrade to 0.27.
