This email is to alert developers to changes in edgeR that might potentially break code. One of the changes below was made only two weeks ago, so I thought it would be worth an email to alert people.

This is to force users to make a decision for themselves about what action to take in this case. This means that any subsequent function that uses the common dispersion will fail when there is no replication. If you want to reproduce earlier behaviour, you need to explicitly enter dispersion=0 to subsequent functions.

Great! Seems like we have an agreement :-) Now I find that putting this
"reverse mapping" in the elementMetadata of the returned object is the
right thing to do. The same can be done with disjoin() where the
reverse mapping is many-to-many. I don't even see the need for an
extra argument to reduce() or disjoin() anymore in order to let the
user choose whether s/he wants the reverse mapping or not. The overhead
should be minimal (the reverse mapping is light and easy to compute).
If nobody objects, I'll put this on my list of things to do for BioC
2.11.

Note that the user will be able to easily do this folding with:
gr2 <- reduce(gr)
map <- unlist(revmap(elementMetadata(gr2)$rmap)) # reverse
split(elementMetadata(gr), map) # returns a SplitDataFrameList
The man page for reduce() will show how to do this. I'm a little bit
hesitant though to add this as an option to reduce() because of what
I said earlier i.e. the SplitDataFrameList would then need to be stored
in elementMetadata(gr2) as a *single* column with something like:
elementMetadata(gr2)$foldedOriginalMetadata
... which is a little weird, and only experts would actually know how
to access specific data in this folded thing. But if people want this,
no problem, I'll add it to my list too.
