To briefly resurrect this thread:-

I was under the impression that there HAD been a change of heart and

Am I wrong?
Yes (no change there then): according to Kew:

Dear Mr Ross,
 
According to the following authoritative fungal index: 
http://www.indexfungorum.org/Names/Names.asp, /Kretzschmaria/ is the 
correct name.  However, taxonomy is a matter of opinion, and we do not 
have specialists in this group at Kew to provide you with a different 
view. Maybe you could contact Drs Thomas Læssøe [thomasl@xxxx.ku.dk]  
or Drs Yu-Ming Ju [yumingju@xxxxx.sinica.edu.tw] for that.
 
With best wishes,
 
Begoña Aguirre-Hudson

nomenclature!)
