[MOBY-dev] [MOBY-l] Cleaning the registry

[Edward Kawas]

Hey Andreas,

I think that he meant something like ... you can't remove the datatype
Object because it has a child DNASequence that is being used.

If a datatype has children that are used by a webservice than they dont 
have anything to do with that datatype - so we can delete it.

E.g.

AminoAcidSequence has a String... String is a widely used datatype. 
Assuming AminoAcidSequence is not used at all it can be deregistered 
although it has a child String.

Of course you can deregister a parent type which children are in use, 
but you cant deregister a child type which parent is in use....

Cheers
Andreas
