Your point about class definitions being frozen is apt — but much of the nomenclature you're using to describe languages is meaningless.

Not meaningless, just debated. And even then, the web has helped to reduce the confusion around the terms.

That article you linked to is useless. If we just called them alpha, beta, gamma, and delta type systems would a rose by any other name smell sweet?
