It=E2=80=99s an interesting article indeed.  I think it would deserve a reb=
uttal
(blog article? academic article?) from the bioinformaticians among us.
:-)

In particular, the claims about reproducibility, about integration into
workflow engines, and about comprehensiveness of the archive deserve
some discussion.

Thanks,
