Why has landscape pedigree changed to show the ancestry of a spouse?

The landscape pedigree now displays the parents of an individual AND the parents of their spouse. This is not genealogically correct.

Also, a person with no spouse (like me) has half of the pedigree blank where there is no ancestry of a spouse to display.

The definition of a pedigree is a display of the ancestors of a person, not the ancestry of their spouse.

If you want to add this type of display, it needs a new name. It is not a replacement for the landscape pedigree chart.
