    The Temporal Cold War has made ripples in the timeline. The Romulan time traveler in "Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow" strongly hinted that history was at least a little bit different than it had been, with the date of the Eugenics War as case in point. I think the writers are freeing themselves up to make minor changes to canon. I don't think it's a branching timeline, though, it's still Prime. Just a little bit different, like Gabriel Bell being replaced by Captain Sisco.

    It's sci-fi -- if the producers feel strongly enough to make a blank slate, they can always retcon or shall I say future-con, and have SNW branch out a different timeline.

    But there is nothing in the series so far that suggests SNW has diverged. Unless you count the visual aspects, I suppose, although that means Disco is also an alt-timeline.
