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
