... new genus name for most of what were Veronica...
Really?

Well, after looking around some more, I take it back. Maybe it's not so grim as all that...
A few years ago, I got the impression from taxonomy sites that Pseudolysimachion was going to replace Veronica - at least for those species that don't have the characteristic "veronica"-shaped flower, but it looks like that has not been the case after all. USDA Plants uses Pseudolysimachion longifolium for Veronica longifolium (only) but other sites still seem to classify it as a Veronica. Sorry to cause unnecessary consternation. ;-)
So, I guess I probably just need to figure out (or wait for) IDs for my "unresolved" species.
