[Bioperl-l] Do we need Bio::Root::Object anymore?

[Torsten Seemann]

Chris Fields directed us to a previous post by Hilmar Lapp where he was 
organizing the transfer of Bio::Root::Object to Bio::Root:RootI/Root:

http://bioperl.org/pipermail/bioperl-l/2001-January/004854.html

I have removed all use/@ISA Bio::Root::Object references from 
bioperl-live, except for those in Bio::Root::* itself:

Bio/Root/Err.pm
Bio/Root/Global.pm
Bio/Root/IOManager.pm
Bio/Root/Object.pm
Bio/Root/RootI.pm
Bio/Root/Utilities.pm
Bio/Root/Vector.pm
Bio/Root/Xref.pm

Can any developers from <= 2001 advise on the role of Object.pm in these 
classes?
