why do temporal police just not care?

All the adventures that Kirk and crew went on in the Roddenberryverse. Will take place in the Abramverse.


Really? So "Amok Time" will still take place, only with everybody in space suits hovering over the big empty space where Vulcan used to be?
 
The novel Watching the Clock does touch on this...

The Department of Temporal Investigations (in the 'prime' timeline) know about the Abramsverse. They have determined that it will eventually reconnect with the original timeline, but in the far, far future. They basically are leaving it alone.
Actually, IIRC, "Watching the Clock" says that because black hole time travel is one-way, there's no entanglement between the resulting timelines and thus they'll remain seperate forever. Only in the case of two-way anomalies (as seen in "Yesterday's Enterprise" etc) do the timelines merge again.

There is no referance to the Abrams timeline at all in that novel. Christopher explains as much here.

^ No *overt* references, but a passing mention.

I though only timelines with minor differences merged and ones with major changes like say destroying a planet stayed separate.
