I mean, why is it the Avoca lineage and not the lineage of whoever fathered the Avocas? And if some of those sons become a coalition of note, will they have their own lineage thread or will they all be lumped in the Avoca one? 

I think it makes more sense to just name them X pride male offspring or X coalition male offspring. Until they become noteworthy enough to warant their own thread. With perhaps a family tree thread for those that want to keep up with how the prides genetically intermingle with eachother over the years. Having a clear organisation of where information can be found is probably more important than keeping the amount of threads below X. 

Still, such a thread may be usefull now for the Avocas as several of their sons have completely broken ties with their native prive.

The reason for the Lineage threads was to be able to keep track of grandsons, great-grandsons, etc... without constantly making new threads for each coalition or solo male who might only be successful for a short period of time, and to begin a single point with which to be able to trace back the lineage of certain males. Obviously, all lions lineage can be traced back for millennia, but we started with more recently known and well documented males as a starting point. When I asked for everyone's opinions on creating them, I don't recall getting any negative feedback from anyone. We have pride threads, for keeping track of the females and young males, but there was no real way to maintain familial history for males.
