#10726 Add GO:0009790 "embryo development" to gocheck_do_not_annotate

[Chris Mungall]

GO:0009790 groups plant and animal embryo development. There's no reason to annotate directly to this. Doing so distributes annotations at different levels in a confusing way.

Minimally we should add to the do-not-annotate subset.

For bonus points:

I'm not sure how useful these terms are at all for annotation. Maybe better to do an annotation extension to a stage ontology?

I also find the defs and labels a bit tortuous. Date from a time when we were de-sensu-izing and particularly in the thrall of the dictum to avoid mentioning taxa in labels? If what we mean here is really "plant or animal embryonic development" and "animal embryonic development" can we not say this more directly in the labels and definitions. Or if we really want to avoid taxa in the labels is there not a better way to mechanistically differentiate between these buckets?

I added this term to the do not manually annotate list. I agree we need to figure out what to do with these terms that specifically refer to life stages as part of a development overhaul.

You are correct, the labels come from the de-sensu izing of the ontology.
