Uploaded.  Thanks for the update.

Hmmm, for this one I'd like to hear Tim's (in CC) opinion.  I started
with python-skbio since it is a predependency to update qiime.  While
Qiime packaging is in a very bad state anyway I do not want to make
things even more complex.  Tim, could you please comment whether it is a
good idea to follow the latest skbio upgrade?

Kind regards

       Andreas.
