This can easily be rectified. I would prefer to make Segnosauria as inclusive 
as possible, so that Therizinosauria would >not< be a synonym (unless it was 
already defined this way--so many def's kicking around these days, it's hard 
to keep them straight). Segnosauria: all maniraptorans more closely related 
to Segnosaurus than to (fill in your favorite segnosaur outgroup here).
