Name space pollution: Mauve

[Aaron M. Renn]

Hi. I'm not sure if I'm the Aaron you refer to below, but I didn't
author any human genome application.  I did write a number of Mauve
Java compatibility test cases, but haven't been an active contributor to
that for some time.  I'd suggest reposting this to the Mauve development
list and the Classpath development list.
