It's his pain. He needs it.

So Kirk's body was taken by something called Project Phoenix.
Doesn't a Phoenix rise from its own ashes?

after it spontaneous combusts and kills itself yes. A Rogue James T. Kirk (similar to his mirror universe counterpart) would be a significant threat to Starfleet and Federation.
Oh please, feel sorry for Picard. He had the honour of having to lift a BRIDGE off of Kirk and then drag his fat, monster maroon covered, arse up a fucking Mountain.
Yeah, I guess Terry Matalas is trying to take the heat off Berman & Braga for killing Kirk in ST:GEN
This is saying to fans:
"See? James T. Kirk WASN'T killed in Generations. He's not dead."
If it is, it's a rather risky thing to say.
I don't know that it's risky. Even if Matalas does nothing else with it, even if it is never addressed again in the future, he has added a coda to "Generations" that seems to be well-received.
Strikes me as eminently unnecessary, and creating speculation around Kirk's returning.
We're Star Trek fans---speculation is what we do 
This strikes me as unnecessary, taking the focus off of Picard, and creating a bunny trail for no good reason. It's a distraction.We're Star Trek fans---speculation is what we do
I don't know...
Having Picard meet Kirk in Generations was a big deal during what some think of as Trek's heyday. Having a nod to that, during this love letter to 80's and 90's Trek seems fitting to me.

Fair enough. I think this is in the same vein as showing a TOS era Connie---a nice nod to fans of such but not an integral part of the story they are telling. Mileage will vary.
As would I.
If they nod any more to fans their heads will fall off. It's hitting absurd lengths.
I don't think there needs to be fan pandering for the sake of fan pandering. Seeing the TOS Constittution in the museum is enough for me to have that little happy nostalgia button ticked. I don't need an apostolic dictum factum about the technical variances of why some Constitutions looked like TOS and some looked like SNW. If we see the SNW Enterprise morph into looking more TOS-y..cool.
If we don't, also cool.
Spaceship is spaceship.

Yup. A vehicle to adventure not world changing statement.
