The only problem with this is the 'Then Play On' precedent, in which a current member of the band (Jeremy) did not participate in recording the album, but the Fleetwood Mac name was still used. But that's a long time ago and everything was much different, so I think it's rather pedantic to use this as an argument for calling the current album "Fleetwood Mac."

Jeremy did appear on
Oh Well, albeit briefly, although that track wasn't on the original pressing of the album. It's hard to imagine Jeremy's style meshing well with Danny and Peter on that album, somehow.
A better precedent is actually the
Jeremy Spencer album released around the time of TPO. Was
that a Fleetwood album? Danny, Mick and John were his backing band on that album and Peter also appeared on
String-a-long which did find its way onto
the Chain 4 disc boxset.
So, if Stevie had appeared on one track of
Buckingham McVie, would that have made it a Fleetwood Mac song (or album)? On which philosophical conundrum, I will say Good Night...
