[Bioc-devel] Why should Bioconductor developers re-use core classes?

[Vincent Carey]

I found it a very congenial presentation.

One related issue -- perhaps -- a new HDF5 interface package, that is
based on R6!

Core class consciousness is surely worthy of promotion.  But what about OOP

packages
that use setRefClass ... any guidance on this?
