That sounds fine. One thing I’ve learned is people often don’t give their opinions until after you make taxonomic changes (hence this request). It sounds like this is pretty minor, though—and easily undone—so I wouldn’t worry too much about it. It’s always courteous to ask other users on taxon flags, but if you repeatedly aren’t getting responses it’s probably fine to just go ahead with changes.
