Just to put the feelers out to see what people think.

It seems (to me at least) that Bioperl modules could/should? be released
as individual modules and that "bioperl" would really constitute a
"bundle" of all these modules - in terms of CPAN anyway. Am I correct in
this thinking? The Bio::ASN1::EntrezGene could simply require a
particular module rather than the whole of bioperl - might get out of
the circular dependency theoretically!?

I'm not suggesting moving in this direction, but just wondered what
others thought about this concept?
