Deprecating Rdbi/RdbiPgSQL in upcoming Bioconductor release (BioC 2.8)

Hi,

This is to announce that the Bioconductor core team has decided to deprecate
Rdbi/RdbiPgSQL (hosted in the Bioconductor repos) in favor of 
DBI/RPostgreSQL
(hosted on CRAN).
Note that Rdbi/RdbiPgSQL will still be available in the upcoming 
Bioconductor release
(BioC 2.8, scheduled for April 14) but they will issue a deprecation 
warning at load
time and point the user to DBI/RPostgreSQL. Then later, during the BioC 
2.9 devel
cycle, we will remove those 2 packages from the BioC 2.9 repositories.

Cheers,
H.
