Although it is highly capable, we are clearly still in the early stages of MP development and new releases and updates are coming at a fairly rapid pace.

One thing I'd like to see is the ability to have multiple versions installed --- without the need to remove a prior version. This would allow us to be running a faitly stable release and still install and test the current release(s) and feature(s). Once we know that the new version works in our environment I could then simply switch over and remove the earlier one at my convenience.

I've been bitten twice by this going from 0.1.0.3 -> 0.1.0.4 -> 0.1.0.5.1. I had one working fairly well then moved to the new release and things were broken right and left. When I tried to go back I ended up having to make all the adjustments and setup changes all over again. This is especially a pain when the TV database changes and you have to re-learn all the channels, etc.

Just one man's opinion
