I would imagine that there are a lot of ST fans who will ignore the new JJ Abrams addition in it's entirety.
Waves hands ecstatically at this.
Canon died the moment Roddenberry died unfortunately....it started to happen in The Next Generation Series and movies. One of most everyone's favorite TNG movies First Contact....they got it right the Vulcans were the first to meet the humans....but Zephram Cochran wasn't born on earth...the Original Series episode "Metamorphosis" Kirk and company crash land on a planet and run into Cochran to which Kirk says, "The Zephram Cochran, of Alpha Centari? The man who developed warp technology"
Originally Cochrane was from Alpha Centauri, that's correct, but then AC was meant to be a whole new civilisation, nothing to do with Earth. Regrettably, it seems unlikely that there is a real civilisation in that systems, so the idea of humans colonising it makes a great deal more sense. Also coupled with the fact that Zefram Cochrane has a human name, not some strange alien one, kind of supports that theory. It's a cop out, yes, but it kinda still works. (Alpha Centauri probably became independant or something, that might help explain some of the differences.)
The problem of course is that 'canon' is set as lose as possible, so that future writers have as much room as possible to play in. With so much being involved in that canon it is rather hard to keep tack of, even with the help of things like the Star Trek Encyclopedia, Chronology and the wonders of the internet. So there are bound to be a few problems that crop up from time to time.
I think though it comes down to using a bit of common sense. there are about five different Tarellians, all spelt different, looking different, with different cultures etc, and no one seems to be able to sort out them out, and argues that they have to all be the same species and someone stuffed up somewhere. i disagree. The number of cities around the world that share the same name, spelt the same and pronounced the same. The fact that in Trek we all ready have Kronos (a Greek God, though spelt differently), Vulcan (A Roman God, spelt the same), and many other things that I'm not going to mention right now, I think we can get away with a few little things like that.
Canon is plastic, and is changeable and mouldable to a certain extent. And we should just accept that and move on.
