The ten year rule is invalid. It no longer fits. I'll keep repeating that

I agree with your definition above, with one addition. Just because it isn't
sold anymore doesn't make it classic. Something that is currently sold may
in fact be classic (but not very commonly). The key is - if the item is
representative of something that is very different, or innovative, that
isn't generally done that way today.
