As Skydance was always the best option, then yes, I would say it is a good thing.

Money is so evil that Trek would never disgrace itself with something so unevolved items.
Changes done in the editing room. (And that happened with Berman era Trek too.)

Paramount can settle without admitting fault (just give Donnie some shut up money).

The AV Club is reporting that Paramount is the latest studio to close its DEI department amid speculation that it was part of pressure from the White House and the FCC if it wanted the merger with Skydance to go through.
This will almost certainly eventually be reflected in their shows as well. Get ready for Trump Trek, no more gays and a lot more emphasis on white men.
"Ooof" is no where near enough.
They can hide SNW from them right, whenever they come hunting for their undesirables they can be all like look at our Enterprise captain and what a white man he is and hide the rest of the cast behind Anson Mount's broad shoulders.
If they want that, there's no shortage of Trek being led by white men (Kirk, Picard, Archer, Pike).
Trek is inoculated in that regard.
Trek is for everyone. There is a Trek FOR everyone.
What are they going to do? Tell Grey's Anatomy to get rid of Meredith Grey? Tell SFA to get rid of Holly Hunter?
Trump is going to be too busy with the thousands of lawsuits DOGE has generated to bother with Trek.
Tawny Newsome's Trek sitcom may be useful in that regard (depending upon the direction it goes in, it could keep Trump and his minions at bay).

Who cares about woke or anti woke. All I want is new trek thats written well and gives us adventure, action, real science/exagerrated science, star ships, new planets, new space encounters etc. In real life exploring space wont he concerned with woke or anti woke. Lets have some fun shows without everone cheering or booing their politics.
Unfortunately in this day and age somehow the existence of minorities is an act of politics so the inclusion or exclusion of anyone that isnt a straight white man is a political expression. It is entirely inescapable.
To be fair, that started with TOS.
Though some lessons, like not fearing words, seem difficult to remember.
