[mythtv-users] different versions on frontend and backend

In the past (more than six months ago), I had major problems when I had
a slightly different version of mythtv on the frontend on the backend.
If I remember correctly, the frontend wouldn't run at all if it was
older than the backend, and if the frontend was newer than the backend,
it would try to "upgrade" the database and ended up killing off the
backend until the "upgrade" was manually reversed.

I was wondering if anyone has had recent experience about whether or not
this particular situation has improved.  I would like to run the latest
version of mythtv from subversion, but I have friends that connect
directly to my mythbackend, and I can't force them to immediately
upgrade their frontend every time I change the backend.

Thanks.
