OK, you've convinced me. I'll support it, and taking SoF mainline. I
want to maintain a consistent history, but I have no problem with a
bit of retroactive continuity when the resulting storyline makes more
sense.
I say go ahead and hack the HttT storyline text and the history Wiki,
and hereby dub this the Great Retconning (for those of you who
remember the Great Renaming). I strongly doubt you'll get any
opposition from the other devs.

I don't think it is. Other devs may differ, but I think differences on
the order of those in UtBS add flavor and variety to BfW. I think I
would prefer to see an even wider range of variations, factions, and
settings.
