[Bioperl-l] Bio:: namespace question

[Jason Stajich]

You'll see there are other non-bioperl modules in CPAN under the Bio:: 
namespace so we haven't got any reservations on what people can submit 
to CPAN.  We have some phylogenetics related modules scattered in 
bioperl to logically deal with data parsing mostly (Bio::Tree, 
Bio::TreeIO, Bio::Tools::Phylo) and running (Bio::Tools::Run::Phylo).

My concern is mostly with confusing people about how things interrelate 
and can be used together and not having a namespace clash, but we are 
not currently using Bio::Phylo.

I don't know if any other folks have opinions -- I suppose waiting to 
see what I'd say?
