[Bioperl-l] is Bio::DB::Biblio::eutils duplicate of Bio::DB::EUtilities ?

That's fine; you can actually do a point release (say, 1.7) and list the proper Bio::* dependencies you need.  I wouldn't list Bio::Root::Root specifically.  

Does anyone here have a problem with Carnë taking co-maintenance of these modules on CPAN?  Please speak up over the next few days, otherwise I'll go ahead and grant it.  Would be nice to have someone looking after these.
