It appears the problem is a hobbyist problem with the desire to attach a 'new flavor' to every apparently different form that pops up... in the name of marketing.

With the introduction of DNA, it looks like the field of taxonomy needs to go through and evolution itself... which it looks like what it is doing right now.

It seems that some want to use DNA as a tool (which it should be) and then there are those that want to use it as THE tool (which it shouldn't).
