The people who actually check forums like this before upgrading to 10.7 are in the minority. Just look at all the people who come here surprised about a new version "breaking" mysql support between two XBMC installs. Plus there are good reasons for wanting to upgrade to 10.7 that are not just because it's a shiny new toy. Every new mac from now on out will have 10.7 by default, as well. No matter what we would still have this situation on our hands.
For my own self I don't really care because my windows XP miniITX box is my main file server. I actually wanted to upgrade to 10.7 just so I could possibly help find a solution for the people who only have a 10.7 machine to serve up content. I still believe the best solution is to just get a router with a USB port or a NAS. Much more energy efficient and won't tie up any computer resources (not that it is significant). I'm very confidant that other easy solutions will come shortly for this situation. We're not the only ones facing this problem.
