I don't think poplar is popular enough ;-D

Seriously though, there is a limit on the number of annotation packages 
that can be made (time is money and all that), so for a lot of chips 
there probably will never be an annotation package.

The expectation is that the end user will use AnnBuilder or possibly 
biomaRt to do the annotation themselves (not that I think it would be 
trivial in this case).

Best,

Jim
