That sounds about right. (I'm on trial for this, right?) September-October
1995 was when those discussions were going on that resulted in the FLG being
created...
At least I listed to Joshua/wisdom and used "series" instead of "sub-theme."
:)
It (sub-theme) probably won't fade out until a viable replacement is found.
Once Programme & Product Line can be popularized, there won't be much of a
need any more. But even if there are 3 "real" levels in the TLG tree, I
often see 4 or 5 in some cases... In the Themes tree, we'll need
designators for unofficial as well as official
entities/categories/groupings. Can't name any off the top of my head right
now because I just woke up, but there are dozens of really compelling ones.
