Some of these have explicit relations where they may not be needed, but most likely represent multiple classes or non-disjoint parents. Obviously, defining terms in BRO will be very helpful in this regard (especially if multiple inheritance is required), but also time consuming. I know that some of you are using BRO and it may be that changes to these terms will result in data inconsistency. In the short term, we can just not use the terms where these changes might have effects on others. However, in the longer term, I'd argue that if we want BRO to be useful to more people and promote interoperability, then we should find a mechanism to reconcile these types of changes to the ontology for existing users. In any case, I just wanted to make a request for these terms to specifically get fixed, but also reach out to existing users to begin to understand each other's needs.
