[Bioperl-l] Priorities for a bioperl-1.6 release

[Brian Osborne]

Chris,

You should be careful about the names of these packages. For example,  
Bio::Biblio and Bio::Restriction are not "in development" as the term  
bioperl-dev implies. They're tried and true. And there may be sets of  
modules that are experimental in "bioperl-dev", of course. Is it  
possible to have 2 packages, "dev" and "tools"? Or something along  
those lines?

Calling things by the wrong names leads to confusion, witness the  
Bioperl newcomers who would install an antiquated version 1.4 because  
it was labelled 'stable'.
