Hi Andreas, In my view, the dnaclust fastasort should be renamed. Exonerate is a flexible and extremely widely used package. (This is no disrespect to danclust, which looks useful too. But someone has to be renamed here.)
Incidentally - it's funny that this very file came up as a hypothetical example of something that might clash, at the sprint.
