I've taken the view that we can be a bit liberal with the taxonomy. The IOC reverse list is just a guide, not a fixed rule to follow.I think we can only use birds actually on the list. Just because there is a proposed split , it doesn’t mean the split will be accepted. If we start playing birds that could be split, we’re just opening a can of worms. There are enough valid species left on the list as it is.
