Hi, It's hard to believe this has gone on so long, but the situation doesn't seem to have changed since the wwPDB put up a statement about this case in December 2009: http://www.wwpdb.org/UAB.html. This explains the wwPDB policy that entries are only made obsolete when the corresponding papers are retracted. As Zhijie noticed, the paper describing 2HR0 still hasn't been retracted, along with a number of other relevant papers.
