Second that motion. 

There are *plenty* of bioinformaticians and sysadmins, especially downstream of 
Debian who will say “I need tophat”, without being able to explain why they do. 

Migration path, big announcement, large time path so everybody gets comfortable 
with it, some sort of way of making sure that google indexes the announcement 
as the first result when someone searches for it.

Source: sysadmin in bioinformatics, also masters students in bioinformatics, I 
was just instructed last Tuesday on how to use tophat in Ubuntu.

Since I'm not a user of all this software I do not have any objections.
However, I wonder whether we should provide kind of a sensible
"migration path" and add "Replaces: tophat" to hisat2 or something like
this.

Kind regards
