They should have dissolved the band if they couldn't work with him, or change the name to something like "The Mac Attack" or "The Mac" (like the Grateful Dead shortened to "The Dead" after Jerry died).
The pre-Rumours and 1987-95 lineups were a different band.
1997 was a reset back to the classic lineup. You could remove Christine and make it work, but it just ain't Fleetwood Mac without Lindsey Buckingham (and for that matter Stevie Nicks).

I do see your point here but the bottom line is “Fleetwood Mac” did exist before the “classic” line up. A name change is not in the cards. However, I do remember Mick saying in interviews and to me in person when I met him in 1996, that Fleetwood Mac isn’t Fleetwood Mac without Lindsey Buckingham.
