[Bioperl-l] RC3 candidates

[Hilmar Lapp]

I'm sympathetic to your point - my only concern is that people get to 
believe that both packages have the same degree of maturity, in terms 
of time it's been around, level of documentation, mutual coverage etc.

This is what is different from the mysql-* packages, which get broken 
out from the same codebase I suppose.

Having said that, bioperl-db isn't really premature anymore. There's 
plenty of tests, and I use it on a pretty frequent basis without 
problems. The main deficiency is documentation of the more advanced 
usage for object-level querying (and that's where there are bugs too). 
So I'm ok with seeing my concern overridden if people think that the 
benefits of a consistent release numbering across the board outweighs 
the risk of possibly false expectations w.r.t. documentation.
