Thanks for the quick response!

I think I see where the macromolecule parent came from -- it's because of 
the peptide modification ancestor. The term name could be reworded 
"peptide modification involved in ferrichrome biosynthetic process", but 
if that would still be too weird, we can remove the parent. It would then 
be odd to have a term with "peptide modification" in the name that doesn't 
have a path back to the generic "peptide modification" parent, though.

Which is the lesser problem?
(adding the ont-eds list because of the consistency issue ...)
