Yes, and I hope they respond to this issue.

You mean like the million or so posts they've made on the issue every six months?

But, you're right. When push came to shove, the MythTV developers just needed to get the next release out before the end of the quarter so analysts would factor the potential earnings into the share price. Therefore, because of the deadline and profit risk, they chose to take the "easy" way out and use local time--on time and on budget have always taken precedence over code quality in MythTV development.
