Interesting, yes, but unless we want to have the same sh*t happening in insects (and in our case Diptera) as did in plants (many families overhauled and no-one really knowing what genus belongs where and whether a family is still a family) we should perhaps start to accept para- and polyphyletic families or even genera (then we have settled the Drosophila melanogaster issue as well).
