Forwarding my reply:

Well, they can always just ask the package manager what version is 
installed.  The news item is targeted only at users who do not already 
have mythtv 0.22 installed, so only potentially impacted users will get 
the announcement.  The guide includes instructions for determining 
whether a particular database has problems.

mythfrontend also has a --version option that returns some useful 
information.

However, anybody getting the news item has a potential issue, and since 
mythtv isn't compatible across client versions if their gentoo install 
has a problem then all of their clients should need an upgrade.
