: I don't think that's correct. Christopher Tolkien stated that
: the Gil-galad son of Fingon was an "ephemeral" idea and should
: not have been included in his version of the Silmarillion.
: CJRT was quite clear that Gil-galad son of Orodreth was his
: fathers primary and continuing conception of his genealogy

Quite correct. THE SILMARILLION's depiction of Gil-galad is simply wrong and Christopher Tolkien has admitted so. It was he who put in the stuff about Gil-galad being sent to the havens, not JRRT. He has repudiated that addition to the text.
