[Go] 1 year limit on IEAs

[Jim Hu]

Hi All,

As I recall, this was discussed at the SLC consortium meeting, but I  
find that I can't reconstruct the rationale for the 1 year expiration  
date on IEAs.  For E. coli, we're importing the IEAs from Uniprot, but  
most of them will expire almost immediately.  I assume that there is a  
problem in other genomes of too many IEAs.  But perhaps a limit on how  
many per gene or some such might be more flexible.

For our E. coli websites, I think it makes sense to display IEAs with  
appropriate caveats, since we're trying to encourage the community to  
do quality control on them.  But I'm not sure, and I imagine that  
other mods have thought about this a lot.
