Uh, ok.  I don't have any direct experience with that particular use
of a cheese grater, but usually mixing mythtv frontend/backend
versions is a very binary experience.  Either the versions are close
(e.g. using official 0.27 on the backend, with a 0.27-rc1 frontend)
and everything pretty much just works, or the versions are not close
and the frontend will tell you there's a version mismatch and refuse
to do anything.

Generally, if you've got a heterogeneous network (e.g. MythBuntu for
your backend, Fedora or even Windows for a frontend) you won't have
the exact same build of mythtv running on the backend and frontend and
that's ok.
