PA does harm to music history!

                                      Hello fellow progheads.

In the past I have created many threads about the categories but then I stopped discussing about it ..until today: I notice that Led Zeppelin is in Prog-related and Deep Purple is in Proto-Prog while these bands fit perfect in the new created category Heavy Prog. And then the Art-Rock, a wonderful category for bands like Queen, Supertramp, Bebop DeLuxe, 10CC and King Crimson (also for Anekdoten because Crossover Prog to Anekdoten looks even funny to say it a bit cynical) but PA has decided to delete the term and split it into 3 new categories, incredible, we should do something to keep that term alive, it's part of music history. I also notice that the very small category Indo-Prog/Raga Rock still exists while Prog Andaluz is ignored, the most influential and widespread blend of prog and folk ever made, it deserves way more an own category than Indo-Prog/Raga-Rock and even Zeuhl. I respect the other visions (yes, I really do fellow collaborators), I know it's a lot of work for the teams to keep it clear but if I look at the abovementioned bands and categories, to me it looks like PA does harm to music history  .
