Thanks, that's very helpful. I've gone ahead and added 'exclude=myth*' to 
/etc/yum.conf. I understand that this will prevent a 'yum update' from 
pulling in any myth* packages, but I think it will also prevent 'yum list 
updates' from showing available myth* updates. It would be great if 
someone could post to this list when the 0.27 RPMs are pushed out so 
people like me will know when we can expect them.
