The diet of a creature is in-fiction information, and rather useless in classification. We should classify them accordingly to morphology, rather than behavioral traits. Although some taxons are actually defined by diet, they are lower-ranked, and merging entire orders because all of their members eat plants is absurd.

I think separating Hexapedisaurischidae from Theropoda was a good idea, however, as none of its members resembled theropods at all. Most of them have been reclassified again in different families, however.
