We did actually have a warning in the code in CVS, but had concluded it was
perhaps a bit too much - see mailing list discussions and revision 1.37 of
Bio/Entrez/__init__.py, viewable here:
http://cvs.biopython.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/viewcvs.cgi/biopython/Bio/Entrez/__init__.py?cvsroot=biopython

The NCBI guidelines are relatively relaxed about this:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query/static/eutils_help.html#UserSystemRequirements

Let's leave this open in case anyone else wants to comment, but unless the NCBI
change their guidelines I am inclined to leave Bio.Entrez as it is.
