We're not jumping to conclusions. We can call an orchid whatever we want. Whether the information is useful to anybody or not will depend on how much factual data and information that comes with a particular orchid ----- such as data/info from a particular organisation that is meant to 'officially' keep track of orchid information.
And true ----- MGP is right in that Neofinetia has now got lumped into the Vanda area ------ by RHS/AOS that is. But - as mentioned ------ just got to communicate in the language of the particular system we want to use.

This brings up a nice point! As awarded plants get cultivar names attached to it, while unawarded ones (or ...... including ones from unawarded registered crosses) don't get cultivar names stored in an official database - for the RHS/AOS system. As in just not to over-complicate the situation ----- as there's bound to be errors and unforeseen issues later down the track with too much book-keeping.

That definitely sums it up nicely! Even the RHS is always doing updates on their system - changing plant categories ------- a whole bunch of things to take care of. The system is still changing ------ evolving, adapting.
