Hi all,

I had another couple of replies off list (perhaps accidentally),
one saying they have been slowly moving over to BLAST+
anyway a deprecation warning from Biopython would
encourage them, and the second saying delaying the
deprecation warning would be appreciated.

So the tentative plan is to add deprecation warnings to
the Bio.Blast.NCBIStandalone.blastall, blastpgp and
rpsblast functions in Biopython 1.55 rather then in our
next release (which will be Biopython 1.54).

Thanks all,

Peter
