A question about MCDL and coordinate generation in general - I remember
there was discussion to adopt RDKit methods for that, has this been
abandoned in favor of MCDL?
Not to dis MCDL but RDKit seems to be more flexible (for example it can
generate coordinates for any part of the structure while MCDL can only
do that for a terminal superatom or the whole structure) and the results
appear to be more visually appealing.

What are you plans regarding user-supplied stereochemistry (hash/wedge
bonds)? I hope OB will not reject or modify user-supplied information
just because it happens to put a stereo bond in a ring?
