Not recognizing why real life might interfere is a bit rude.
Don't bet on it (with apologies to David Gerrold):
Mods are professional villains. They are nasty, vicious, brutal, and merciless. They don’t bathe regularly, they don’t use deodorants or brush their teeth. They don’t even visit their dentists twice a year. They sharpen their fangs by hand because they think pain is fun. They eat Blue Meanies for breakfast.
Think of the Mongol Hordes with keyboards and banning privileges. To the Mods, Genghis Khan was a phony and Attila the Hun was a fairy. And Hitler was only a beginner. Remember Ming of Mongo from all those old Flash Gordon serials? Well, these are his descendants, selectively inbred for sheer awfulness.
A Mod is a good person to invite to a character assassination — or even a murder, providing it’s your own. Mods build their battlecruisers without toilets; it makes them nastier. Mods pick on old ladies. Mods fart in air locks. Mods drop litter in the streets. Mods pick their teeth in public. And those are their good points!
Mods do all the things that men pretend they don’t—only Mods are proud of it. Mods are perfect villains.
It's coming on Stardate 1037.65, give or take an hour.
To be honest, the separation between "prime" and "Kelvin" timeline makes no sense anymore. It made sense when there only was these two. But as of now, any semblance of an overall continuity is blown to pieces, PIC is related to both, nobody knows what the fuck DIS is, or in which century it's supposed to bet put in, and if Quentin Tarantino gets his hands on ST4, we can get some inglorious Basterds shenanigans on continuity.
Seriously, the only way to make sense of it is to sort by production timeline (and then put the timeline/era next to each series).
A Star Trek forum should start with TOS, and end with the most recent production (or the other way 'round). Period. Everything else is doomed to fail.
The only seperation that makes sense might be between "series"' and "movies". And even then we can have exploding heads, like if we ever get a "Short Trek" set in the Kelvin timeline, or a streaming movie on "All Access".

I agree about sorting by production era as the only sensible way to go. I'd throw in my lot with placing the most recent thing show (or just put the Kurtzman era first). Reverse chronological order would allow new users to more quickly find things like Picard while minimizing the long scroll, and it would cluster the stuff that generates the most demands at the top. That might be controversial but I'd say that it's better user-centered design that lowers the barrier for new folks to jump in.
Hyperbole much?
I think the project is unlikely ever to see the light of day. I'm doubly convinced it won't if Paramount and CBS merge, and all of Trek goes under the CBS banner.
It makes perfect sense. Picard is Prime and do is DSC. Picard us simply exploring events described to in a Kelvin film but isn't connected to the Kelvin universe other than that.
DSC just went to the future. Still Prime.
Finally, that degree in temporal mechanics is paying off!
Greendale Community College’s most popular trade degree.
Why would it prevent QT from making a Trek movie? CBS/Viacom will KILL (Bill, hehe) to have QT direct a Star Trek movie. Even if that movie ends up being completely unrelated to Kelvin or Prime or any other timeline, for example if that Star Trek movie is a direct Pulp Fiction sequel or some such nonsense. We may argue for years on end if such movie is "canon" or not, but if CBS thinks they could earn $500mil or more, they will greenlit the shit out of such movie.
CBS is a pretty conservative group.
They can stick their names on Big Brother, or 2019's Twilight Fucking Zone, they can deal with Tarantino. CBS likes to make money.
"Their money's as good as anyone else's!" And if the movie tanks, they'd blame it on Tarantino and make a more conventional (in this century) Star Trek movie next time. Meaning an Abrams-style Star Trek movie but done on a lower budget, which is what Paramount wanted to do with Star Trek 4.
