Is the ExpressionSet class deprecated? If it is, what are the
ramifications of this?

* Are new packages barred from using ExpressionSet?
* Will existing packages that use ExpressionSet be forced to move to
SummarizedExperiment? If so, when?
* Often deprecation means the removal of support. If ExpressionSet is
deprecated will support be removed? If so, when?
* Is SummarizedExperiment the replacement? Is SummarizedExperiment a
superset of ExpressionSet with all ExpressionSet features available?

PS: I posted this question here as well:
https://support.bioconductor.org/p/133548/

Thanks,
Augustin Luna

If you're asking because you're thinking about package development, then this would be the right place ;) there are answers on the support site, though...
