[Bf-committers] Removing auto registration

[Brecht Van Lommel]

Hi all,

In november there was already a discussion here about python class
auto registration, but there was no agreement on the issue. So I was
asked to try to cut the knot here, and I'm proposing to revert to
manual registration.

On first thought, I prefer auto registration, because it corresponds
to how I envisioned the API working when doing RNA design. But I also
think the advantages are quite minor, and I agree after reading the
discussion that on larger projects it can add more confusion. Also,
there's a number of bugs and issues with it, which haven't been
resolved and don't seem like they will anytime soon. Solving them will
also make the API code more complicated.

We could discuss the topic further, but it also seems that a certain
point this is a matter of preference. Campbell can do the commit if
there's no objection.

Thanks
Brecht.
