I doubt it will be removed. When David Engel tried to make more reasonable max values to convince people to schedule recordings correctly (i.e. use per-recording-rule offsets instead of global pre-/post-roll), he caused quite a stir. ;) http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/dev/152185#152185 http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/dev/152226#152226 http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/dev/152227#152227 http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/dev/152245#152245 The whole thread makes for a good read, though, too.
