That's a fair point, and I can see how you can understand it that way...

I will modify the text to be more explicit and avoid any kind of
misunderstanding

I'm all for rules, and provided the little amount of feedback and
problem report I see that are directly related to my mods , I can only
assume that they didn't create that much problem to start with.

The reason I don't consider my mods as a "fork" because I do believe
they are insignificant in the overall mythtv picture.
I could perfectly do without them. I do believe they added a little
bit extra, but it's not essential...

And I try to help on this list as much as I can, and I certainly rush
if I realise it's related to using my binary packages ...
