Will Star Trek XI be "canon" ?

Anyone who's read Countdown knows that it must be.
After Spock and Nero disappear into the past, the timeline they came from continues to exist. Picard and Data are seen on the Enterprise, reminiscing about Spock. So obviously the 'prime' timeline is not wiped out, or indeed affected in any way.
"Trek" and "nuTrek" don't work for the same reason that the occasional campaign to get people to call the original series "Star Trek" instead of TOS in conversations about the Franchise always fails: while it makes some people feel good about asserting the primacy of one thing, it's just plain confusing to almost everyone else. Star Trek or Trek is now the franchise, in total. So far, one series - the first - and one movie - the most current - have used only the franchise name as their titles.
Ohhhh cum on fellas...!! What a filthy and dirty mind(s) you have...and I love it
This works for me...
Pre-Trek = Enterprise.
Classic Trek = TOS plus the Movie's 1 to 6.
TNG = The Next Generation/DS-9/Voyager and the Movie's 7-10.
NuTrek = Trek XI/2009 on...
(Till something else comes along that changes things again...)

OK.. now I've got a Pre-Ejaculation Cannon in my head...

It's canon...pre-ejaculation notwithstanding

Both of you are so right. Yet, I predict they will still argue about it for years to come. I've said from the beginning that Paramount owns Star Trek and decides what is canon. I have also been told off many times for saying it...
Those entities don't get to rule on what's "canon" and what is not.
Star Trek XI is canon, on exactly the same basis as all Trek TV shows and films produced by Paramount - no matter how confused and contradictory the stories are.
"oldTrek" and "nuTrek" - it's a more consistent formulation.
Some people are so far in denial they cannot see their way out of it.
The canon element of the movie makes me nervous. I also get nervous about Treklit dramatically changing as a result as I am enjoying it immensely at it currently is.
I would imagine that as these characters are reinterpreted - especially, perhaps, Spock - it will represent a tremendous opportunity for the professional writers who do Trek novels. There's not been much truly new insight into the characters as people from the Paramount side of the house since...well, I'd say 1982 but let's be nice and say 1992.
TAS has never been recognized as part of the continuity by Paramount. That's the only reason its status as "canon" is debated.
Can this person who attended the UK premiere count as canon:
That would've made for an awesome YouTube video.
Maybe, but thank goodness there wasn't one, what a reason for "normal" folks NOT to see the movie.
Ummm "get a life." " it's only a movie"????Can this person who attended the UK premiere count as canon:

It will be misle.
