Agreed, but pointing out the antecedents could lead to re-thinking one's opinions of and attitudes towards of the resultant genre (which was my intent). Besides all Steampunk is, is a setting for the story and characters and most here who like Jim Butcher's writing, like it because of the characters and how they act during the story. To me, putting Jim's character creation ability and story telling ability in a different setting than we're used to probably won't make much difference in the long run.
