Dear annotators,

To handle the question posed in SF 2034990, we propose to rename some 
terms to be consistent with their parentage. All of these terms are is_a 
children of "cellular metabolic process" (GO:0044237):

   GO:0006066 : alcohol metabolic process
   GO:0006081 : aldehyde metabolic process
   GO:0043446 : alkane metabolic process
   GO:0043449 : alkene metabolic process
   GO:0043452 : alkyne metabolic process
   GO:0043603 : amide metabolic process
   GO:0009308 : amine metabolic process
   GO:0006519 : amino acid and derivative metabolic process
   GO:0006725 : aromatic compound metabolic process
   GO:0042445 : hormone metabolic process
   GO:0046950 : ketone body metabolic process
   GO:0042180 : ketone metabolic process
   GO:0043094 : metabolic compound salvage

We'd like to add the word "cellular" to each of these term names (e.g. 
GO:0006066 would become "cellular alcohol metabolic process", because 
these terms are already implicitly cellular processes. For any of these 
processes that occur at a multicellular level, we can add a new term.

Would this change pose a problem for any existing annotations? If so, 
please let me know within about a week; any terms that shouldn't be 
renamed to "cellular ..." can be moved out from under "cellular metabolic 
process".

Also shout if you have any questions.

Thanks,
Midori
