In short, TVSeries / TVSeason / TVEpisode effectively model the
"hasPart" and "isPartOf" relationships found in our Collection
proposal [1] without inheriting from Collection.

In the short term, I will remove "Collection" from the Periodicals /
Comics hierarchy. This will reduce the friction that might happen if
we attempt to pull "Collection" into the Periodicals & Comics
proposal.

I suspect this would also make Antoine happier, as it would be
conceptually cleaner and certainly more rigorous [2]

This doesn't mean that "Collection" is dead. It just means (I think)
that if it is adopted in some form, we will be able to apply
subPropertyOf relationships to the hasPart / isPartOf properties
throughout schema.org.
