   No, it was officially announced as being part of the Prime timeline.   
   That’s the heart of the problem, as far as I’m concerned.  That’s why I   
   think the best solution at this point really is to sit down and retcon   
   the *entire* Trek omniverse down to something that makes sense as an   
   ongoing framework for telling good stories.  Not just resolving these   
   newly fabricated timelines, but the Mirror Universe and all the other   
   references to fantastical events that we done in a throw-away fashion   
   at the time, but became canon when Trek became a franchise.  Until they   
   sweat out those details, it’s ultimately pointless to call anything else   
   Trek.
