[ensembl-dev] Changed values in attrib_type.code

[Jeremy Henty]

I have been keeping the Otter schemas in sync with the EnsEMBL master
tables and I noticed that recently three values in attrib_type.code
have changed.

This is a concern because we assume that attribute type codes will not
change and cheerfully hard-code them.  Changes to codes could break
our scripts.

Are these changes a one-off or are further changes likely?  It would
be useful to know in advance if so.

The three changed codes are:

    id  64: 'GeneNo_knwCod'  => 'coding_cnt'
    id  67: 'GeneNo_pseudo'  => 'pseudogene_cnt'
    id 353: 'GeneNo_non_cod' => 'noncoding_cnt'
