That said, you only need to go through 0.24 or 0.25 (or even 0.23 or 
0.22) if you're upgrading from 0.21 or below.  0.22 and above can 
upgrade all the way to current--and there's no benefit (but there are 
potential disadvantages***) to installing a version between 0.23 and 
current rather than jumping directly to current.

*** Because of changes to both MySQL and Qt-MySQL bindings, some of the 
upgrade code in MythTV has been modified to work with current versions 
of MySQL and Qt-MySQL.  The "in between" versions of MythTV are really 
best used with the versions of MySQL and Qt-MySQL that were in use when 
those MythTV versions were new.
