Borg are back? (spoilers)

^It means that the author of that particular story chose to offer a mechanism for a potential Borg return. Whether future authors or editors are interested in picking up on that thread remains to be seen.
Doesn't Gluttony take place years before the Destiny trilogy?
^Good point. I'd forgotten that it was set before Destiny.
That historian's note is in error, though, since Greater Than the Sum takes place in late 2380 (to be precise, its encounter with the Einstein is in November '80). I'm also at a loss as to why the author of that note chose to assert that Revenant was concurrent with GTTS, because there's nothing in the actual novella to suggest any link.

No, I just skimmed through the story, and the internal references make no mention of Destiny, only of canonical events. So I think it was intended either to come before Destiny or to stand apart in its own continuity.
No, that's a reference to the end of Voyager when they blew up the conduits & transwarp hub.
At the end of monster movies, we usually see that at least one whatever has survived, potentially setting everything in motion again - even if the film in question never actually gets a sequel. So you could probably take the story in question (which I haven't read) as an epilogue if you so chose.
Right. The line "No more conduits, no more jumping out of the Delta Quadrant" makes it clear that the Borg still exist in the DQ but have no way (supposedly) of reaching the Federation. There's no way that such a line would be uttered after Destiny.
It's been a while since I finished reading this, but I came away from it with the strong impression that it was written to take place after Destiny, but then the editor told the author that they didn't want to "bring back the Borg" per se, so the Historian's Note was added. Just my impression.
The bits about Starfleet destroying Borg artifacts on site is something we didn't have before Destiny. I'd expect that to be a directive given after Destiny. So I agree with sfroth that Gluttony was probably written to take place after Destiny but had the historian's not added in like it was just to not be after Destiny. This just feels like it's after Destiny, not before.
Except there are no Borg artifacts after Destiny. Everything Borg became Caeliar or was dusted.
I'd assume a policy of destroying Borg artifacts would've been put in place after the events of Homecoming/The Farther Shore.
Borg back? Oh God no... 
I certainly hope not. If they ever show up again, Destiny effectively becomes moot!

I agree. Destiny seemed to pretty well infer that all Borg everywhere were affected by the Caeliar. Even former Borg like Seven and Picard were affected to some degree, so I would assume that any independent Borg cut off from the main Collective would have been subject to the Caeliar transformation as well.

I expect an April fool's day announcement that the Borg are coming back. It will probably end with a random comment about Janeway returning and/or Harry Kim going back to being an ensign.
