I've been paying some attention to this, but thought that the changes 
were only those required to get Bio::FeatureIO working (i.e. 
recapitulate GFF3 logic) without hampering object usage; do our tests 
pass with these changes in place?

I did tag the HEAD at RC1, so we could branch from there if we needed 
to; if this is really the big bug-bear that Hilmar and Jason are 
claiming, then I'd ask Allen to retract his patches that alter 
interface definitions, and branch.

And I was so hoping to get RC2 packaged up later today ...
