That was my preferred explanation if they ever wanted to have one. I have to admit, I was pissed when then first changed the Klingons, but by the end of the first season the new design had started to grow on and I didn't mind it as much. I still much, much prefer the TOS movies-Ent design, so I'm glad they went back to that. And I still can't help but wonder if they were would have put Michael Dorn in the Disco make up if they had still been using that design in Disco era productions when he showed up on Picard.
Now, I kind of want Strange New Worlds' finale to end with the Enterprise going back to Starbase 1 for a refit, and then the final scene is all of their versions of the TOS characters on the original bridge wearing the Where No Man Has Gone Before uniforms.
