I do believe it is used, though, so I would like to get additional responses from the community before removing it and pointing to the separate repository (where there has been a lot of experimenting going on).

Yes for Bio::FeatureIO, no for Bio::Root::Root and the others at the moment (I want to get a release out by March 1, which I'm planning on announcing later today, so the less disruptive it is the better).  Once we get a new release out we should remove the rest.
