It's still canon to the Prime Timeline, as Khan had that blood before Nero caused the timeline split.
Picard's destruction of Romulus further cemented that everything in JJ's films were tied to the Prime Timeline.

Picard's destruction of Romulus further cemented that everything in JJ's films were tied to the Prime Timeline.
I don’t believe in that theory. It was always a different universe. Simon Pegg also believes so
Possible, although La'an is a Noonien-Singh not a Noonian-Soong LOL
If that were so, Romulus shouldn't be destroyed in Picard. And Simon Pegg was speaking as a fan, not acting in an official canon capacity when he said that (the way Roddenberry joked that smooth headed Klingons were northern Klingons or something)
Assuming that all that research wasn't deeply classified after 1996. Soong could largely be winging it and not have had access to the biometric and genetic data that the Augment creators had.
How so? Romulus was still destroyed in the Prime universe. Spock and Nero just crossed into a different universe that is 130 years behind
It was never Q’s fault. The Borg scooped up the outposts in The Neutral Zone before Q Who. They were already on the way.
We don’t know where that genome came from. Could be Khan’s.
Technically not since the timeline hadn't split then so that would make it canon in the prime universe. (oh gods, I hate myself).
And is healing blood any less silly than duplicate android bodies? Maybe they'll make one for Q too.
Agreed. What Q did was make humanity aware and give them time to prepare for the Borg's arrival.
Agreed. We, the viewers, may know this later, but Picard and the rest of Starfleet were unaware of their existence, even though at least the higher-ups at Starfleet should have. I suspect this is the exact reason why the Borg didn't specifically identify themselves in Regeneration. But who knows. Maybe that's what Hansen, Picard, Shelby, and Riker were discussing during the opening credits of The Best of Both Worlds.
Pegg also wrote the third movie with that thought in mind.
It's possible but if so this has not been confirmed onscreen and it's just a fan opinion, with no more current weight on canon than the latest licensed Trek book or comic. Trek's own official website shows a timeline showing Kelvin diverging from Prime: Official Star Trek Timeline Revealed (comicbook.com)
Even so he was working for Paramount and their official view on canon, which they published on official websites, overrides his headcanon, which isn't canonized anywhere onscreen even in the film he wrote.
Here's the thing about Regeneration vs. Q Who. The latter happened before the timey wimey stuff in First Contact, so the Federation couldn't have known about the Borg then. Sure, you'd think that altering the past would've altered events like what we saw in Q Who, but if it's true that such things must be fixed by time cops/temporal agents, then maybe that's something they didn't get around to. Also, didn't Q de Lancie say something about Quinn having introduced the galaxy to the Borg in Death Wish? Anyway, time is a river and sometimes I think it just flows over whatever dam in its way and returns to the general route it always takes, regardless of obstructions.
Raffi: Did that guy Jurati killed even have a name?
Seven: ID found shows 'Tolian Soran'. Strange name for a human. Sounds familiar but I can't tell from where. Anyway we have bigger problems right now.
(Season finale ends with Picard having a drink with James T. Kirk in Ten Forward, played by Shatner)
Q said that Quinn was responsible for the 100-year war between the Romulans and the Vulcans but I don't think he said anything about the Borg being involved with any of Quinn's activities.
You assume they were contacted before they were beamed - it appears they weren't. They were putting everything in an area when the boy happened on them, and I have the impression everything was beamed up. Also, IDK if the Vulcan started the actual Mind Meld as the way it was described, as a boy - he thought the alien was trying to dig his fingers into his face.
Janeway said that DeLancie Q had introduced “us” the the Borg. But the Borg didn’t learn much in Q Who that they didn’t learn from the Neutral Zone outposts, or when they assimilated the Hansens.
Or picked up from the Arctic research team in 2153.
