Ouch! That would be forever, because no concensus will ever happen.
However, just to fuel the argument, (purely non-vitriolically)
Webster's (on the Web) defines panoramic as a view of all directions
from a central location and a panoramic camera as one in which both
the lens and film move. I shoot almost exclusively longer thin
negatives, but prefer do not consider them panoramic. Does merely
cropping off the top and bottom of the frame make it panoramic? Why?
