I don't buy this, at least for dinosaurs. In the sauropods alone, you
have _Tendaguria_, _Agustinia_ and at least one more as-yet unnamed
taxon, none of which fit at all convincingly into any of the
established clades less inclusive than Neosauropoda. I think there is
_a lot_ still to be discovered -- not just minor tweaks on the taxa we
know and love already, but dramatic departures.
