A group in Calgary has improved the spinal labeling of the PAM50 template. An article is under review, but the label files are already available at https://github.com/PhillipsLab/pam50.
It would be nice to update our current spinal level files with the new ones.
A few considerations:
- We would ideally integrate this change in a stable release before the article is published. Publication date is still unclear, but likely early 2023 (which would correspond to v5.9).
- Our users using these labels need to be informed that they have changed, otherwise their analysis results will change without them knowing why.
- Based on the previous point, should we release under v6.0 (because major cross-compatibility break). Note, however, that I don't think many people are using this spinal level. But I could be wrong...
