The ICSP voted to include the rank "phylum" into the code of bacterial nomenclature, and NCBI taxonomy followed.

Many people voiced anger for this #taxonomygate bc... twitter. Here some thoughts on the matter... (1/n)
There were many complains about nomenclature being worthless or irrelevant. As a microbial ecologist, I understand where this comes from, particularly with bioinformatic tools that require only spaceholders as identifiers. As a microbiologist, I think this is short-sighted. (2)
But #microbialtaxonomy is important for other people too. For example, it is central for diagnostics in #healthcare and #foodsafety and #biotechnology. Many who don't care about ecology or evolution need this.
It might not matter to you, but it matters to others. (3)
