My thoughts are that it would not be a useful category for very many WTers.

My husband's great-grandparents were step-siblings. It's an interesting situation (and it was a surprising discovery for him), but I can't imagine how a category for this would be helpful or interesting for the family. So I agree with Natalie.

I agree with Natalie on this.  I presume you have been looking at the category Double In-Law Marriages.  Those have a specific genetic impact.  Step-sibs don't.
