[Biopython-dev] Unit tests for deprecated modules?

[Frank Kauff]

I favor option a. Deprecated modules are no longer under development, so 
there's not much need for a unit test. A failed test would probably not 
trigger any action anyway, because nobody's going to do much bugfixing 
in deprecated modules.
