As for SF & fantasy, there are lots of books that are one or the other and not both and many people dislike the lumping of them together. But to be honest, I think if we had to make room for something different, keep mystery, SF, & fantasy and do away with thriller.

Thriller could be seen as a sub-genre of Mystery anyway I think since there often is a mystery to be solved as well. I mean take Nancy Kopp as an example. Her books are legal thrillers, but in the course of the story there is usually a mystery of some sort.
