Reverting an unexplained and highly improbable change. Certainly as recently as 2002 Lu et al accepted Trechnotheria, and it is unlikely that by 2016 Lu had reverted to an earlier classification; if, however, that is the case, then an explanation is needed, not just changing the article without explanation.
