I'll blame the lack of coelurosaur synapomorphies for this... :-)

Cool.

Even cooler. *Deinonychus* actually found as a dromaeosaurine... and
*Saurornitholestes* outside Dromaeosauridae sensu stricto.

Yeahaah! Almost as if I'd constructed it! :-) Warning: including
*Yandangornis* and *Hulsanpes* could destroy it. -- Just strange that the
dromies are so far away...

As expected.

Have you included the few enantiornithine and euenantiornithine
synapomorphies that I have still found?
