eSets do need some more work at our end, and the oligochip processing
infrastructure will be as in oligo.  if you get a chance to write some
useful validity checkers, they will be pushed in to Biobase with
attribution, so if that is your chief barrier, let's eliminate that.
i believe the lack of validity checking is only due to lack of
resources.

eSets are being adopted in other synthetic analysis projects.  they
are expected to endure, but more dialogue about them should occur.
