i definately think there needs to be more focused sub-genres.  The is alot of ambiguity in alot of the genres.   A perfect example is Rush and Gentle Giant sharing the same genre. 
If you choose not to decide you still have made a choice.

164 bands under the same roof, which will not be as extensive as other genres. I am saying this because it has been the primary reason to deny further Prog-Metal band "branching" - because we already have too much genres. If so, why not put the least popular, prevailing ones in one box? There's more similarity between bands in these genres than between many Prog-Metal bands, for example.




Believe me that the Krautrock genre alone has alot of difference between bands (try comparing Neu! with Can with Amon Duul II with Ash Ra temple and others) Let alone combining them with RIO/Avant-garde and Zeuhl. I find it better to combine RIO/Avant-garde with Zeuhl.

I also agree on combining Raga with Folk prog and Prog related with Proto-prog since the only difference is the timeline (bands that are from 1969 and under are proto and bands from 1970 and over are prog related.
 
Raga Prog with Folk, sounds nice.. Raga Prog is the less genre that i know, despite i love Shakti, and like Quintessence, i have never liked Raga prog Indo prog as a genre...
