Except Cornwell is aged about 30 years older, and looks it. Not the same character.
Should there be a Captain Pike spin-off from DSC?

Speaking of whom, does anyone know if we're going to see Cornwell again this season?
We've seen her in trailers.
Lock her up. I'm laughing that she's still around after going along with the whole genocide plan.
She eventually realized that the plan was wrong and backed down from it.
Intent to commit genocide is still a crime. She recruited Georgiou, created the deception, and put the plan into place.
It would be cool to see Cartwright. I think Discovery could be a cool way to see Cartwright and other TOS/TOS movie era characters like Robert April, Nogura, Sonak, Garth, Carol Marcus, Lori Ciana, Morrow, Janice Lester, St. John Talbot, McCoy's ex-wife, McCoy's daughter, and Clark Terrell. I also think they could make canon the Will Decker/Matt Decker connection on Discovery as well. It would be cool to see one of the Dax hosts as well.
For others, they could have Shran. I mean how long do Andorians live anyway? And we could see younger versions of Korrd, Chang, Gorkon, Kruge, Kruge's mate, the Klingon Ambassador.

I wonder if Mirror Georgiou, with her hatred of aliens carried over from her universe, was involved in the Khitomer conspiracy?
Then Picard and Starfleet Command in the 24th century should also be locked up.
Not if said genocide is never actually carried out, or even attempted.
And then ordered the cancellation of the plan. Cornwell listened to reason, realized she was wrong, and never actually carried out the attack (or even attempted it). That absolves her of all blame.
No it doesn't. It's called conspiracy to commit murder.
Cool. I can't recall the episode where Picard ordered bombs placed on a planet to eradicate it's population.
But since that conspiracy was never carried out - nor did anyone even TRY to carry it out - it effectively never existed.
Look at it this way. If you think to yourself "I'm going to kill somebody", but you never actually kill them - and you never even try to kill them - have you actually committed a crime? All you've done is think about what you're going to do. Just idle thoughts, nothing more - you haven't actually DONE anything. You haven't even TRIED to do anything. So how can you be accused of a crime?
He was willing to commit genocide against the Borg. With approval from Starfleet Command.
You mean the plan the entire Federation Council endorsed?

That makes it a lot worse
You're comparing a thought crime.... to her actually signing off on a plan to bomb an entire planet. At the very least, Starfleet shouldn't keep her in that position. It shows major moral ambiguity and cowardice... but then again, this is STD.
And it could be considered 'attempted' since the bombs were actually sent to the planet, if memory serves.
Why is it worse now, than when Picard wanted to do it?That makes it a lot worse
Picard and The Borg.
Starfleet has never been perfect.
Stop treating them that way.
A Captain Pike spin-off depicting his years commanding the Enterprise is the series I would love to see most from this. The idea gets me excited because there's at least ten years of pre-Kirk USS Enterprise history that we don't know too much about. Would love to see that.
When we last saw the Enterprise, she was being towed back to spacedock with Pike saying something to the effect there is no estimate on when she'll be back in service. I jokingly said on my Discovery podcast that it would be funny if this repair job turns into a refit that ultimately transforms the Enterprise into how she appears on TOS.
