Any glaring omissions in my ambient-family of subgenre?

I don't really listen to much ambient, honestly. I offered my opinion on drone because that's one of the genres I'm most familiar with. Everything I know off of your list definitely fits. For ambient classical I could see John Cage's "A String Quartet in Four Parts" or Basinski's "The Disintegration Loops". Basinski might not directly fall under the classical portion, but with that piece I feel like it's the most appropriate place for him since that really is a landmark drone piece.
I also think that Aka / Darbari / Java: Magic Realism is the superior Jon Hassell album.
