[Bioperl-l] Question about Bio::DB vs Bio::Index ...

I've created a new Bioperl object that provides an interface to a
BLAST DB formatted for the WashU version. Currently the object
(Bio::Index::Washu) is a subclass of Bio::Index but after reviewing
the Bioperl object hierarchy I'm thinking that it should be redone as
a subclass of Bio::DB ...

So my question for the bioperl guru's is: what is the current wisdom
for determining the choice of which object to subclass from,
i.e. Bio::Index vs Bio::DB?
