Trying to be constructive here...  For those who have any fear of an 
accidental upgrade as described above (i.e. someone sticks a KnoppMyth 
LiveCD into a computer or brings over a laptop with MythTV installed and 
it tries to connect to your DB), simply modifying your install to use 
anything other than the default DB password will prevent any unwanted DB 
upgrades as the new machine--until configured with the other 
password--wouldn't have permission to even connect to your DB.

Granted, this doesn't solve the problem of accidentally upgrading one of 
your own machines you've configured to use the other password, but it's 
a start.
