I'm disappointed only in that the effort to code a UI in Clutter is being
done outside of the existing mythfrontend framework. Rather, it would have
been helpful if the developer had instead worked on adding a Clutter
renderer (like we have QT and OpenGL) for the existing frontend. Now, as
new features are adding, new protocol commands implemented, etc., this
frontend will lag behind the official one until it can be updated rather
than being pulled along with the existing codebase. No disrespect to his
efforts but it sure would have been nice to see this as a branch to the
existing code to be merged back in rather than a separate project.
