I'm always interested and excited to learn about new theories of proper taxonomic divisions, especially as we are now able to use chromosomal information in a systematic way to discover flawed assumptions emerging from phylogeny and morphogeny.

I agree with charlie c above. Just because the taxonomists suggest a name change does not mean you have to care. Similarly, I don't think we have any right to complain either.

The plants aren't merely our domain, and they're not merely the taxonomists' either. I value the taxonomists' work because I find taxonomy to be interesting, and enjoy learning as much as I can about the natural divisions and relationships between species. However, if we let them dictate horticultural proper usage, it leads to constant frustration and confusion. But it's just as clearly mistaken for us to tell them to stop striving towards a more refined, complete, and exact scientific treatment of these plants because doing so complicates our separate goals as breeders, growers, and judges.
