[Bioc-devel] exprSet and friends

[Keith Satterley]

I agree with Wolfgang. Don't make changes so close to a release.

I'm not sure what effect expunging all exprSet methods would have. I currently 
need the exprSet class definition and accessor methods to get expr and se.expr 
data from exprSet objects. Users may have saved there data previously using 
affylmGUI. A user may wish to open that data file again using a current version 
of affylmGUI. affylmGUI supports this by opening the old data file, getting the 
expr and se.expr data from the exprSet object. affylmGUI will then save the data 
in an updated version of the affylmGUI data object, if the user requests it. I 
don't wish to alter this process before the R 2.6.0 release date, as I would 
need to make several changes and need to do adequate testing of these changes,

cheers,

Keith
