I'm the maintainer of MythArchive but to be honest these days a hardly 
ever use it. The storage groups stuff has allowed me to  change the way 
I archive stuff off from saving to DVD to saving on removable hard 
drives which works well for me and allows quick access to a large number 
of archived recordings.

At some point MythArchive, if it remains as a supported plugin, will 
*have* to be converted over to the new  mythUI which could mean the 
interface could change but I don't have a great deal of enthusiasm for 
doing that so if I do it I will probably just do a really quick 
conversion keeping most things as they are since it works for me.

The other alternative would be to just drop MythArchive from SVN but I 
haven't consulted Isaac about that and I don't know how well that will 
go down with the users!!

What exactly don't you like about MythArchive?
