Dear all,
I would like to deprecate a big part of PopGen, that is:
- All the simcoal stuff
- All the fdist stuff.
Simcoal comes from the lack of source code and a free license.
fdist from a lack of license.
In simcoal case, I do not think we should support black box code (unless
it is something very very popular which is definitely not the case).
For the fdist case I suspect that 99%+ of the users are via my own
applications, and I will take care of that myself. We would benefit my
reducing Biopython's complexity a little bit.
For simcoal, I understand that there might be a few (handful at most?)
users, but I think the trade-off is well worth it.
Any opinions?
Regards,
Tiago
