Considering long Covid hasn’t actually been clinically defined, that’s not going to happen any time soon.

You are clearly misinformed. The CDC has already created a new code for the disease, along with a name: PACS https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/hcp/clinical-care/...

The code is under review.

> The ICD-10 code U09.9 Post COVID-19 condition code is not currently available in the United States and is under review by the U.S. ICD-10 Coordination and Maintenance Committee. In the meantime, CDC recommends the following ICD-10-CM code be used for post-COVID conditions: B94.8 Sequelae of other specified infectious and parasitic diseases

Anyways, it's not uncommon to get what a disease is wrong the first time. The CDC also initially referred to HIV as GRID (gay-related immune deficiency).
