In the EU (German taxonomists in the main), there is not widespread acceptance of this publication's recommendations. The journal is not peer-reviewed and generally considered a hobbyist's journal (BTS). Thus, having asked the same question over there, I was told the old names are still being used.

agreed with this. I posted in another thread the views on the person that created the bibliography, basically it's his list and will be how he wants it.
