@cmungall, in EnvironmentOntology/envo#781 you suggested including non-monophyletic groups in NCBITaxon. Would that be the appropriate home for this microbe class?

[cmungall]

Different namespace, but it could be built as part of the obo ncbitaxon releases, and released as an optional extension

but I think this should be reserved for things that can be logically defined using or/and/not with existing taxo... this one feels odd let's discuss later
