I can see Tpau's interpretation, and honestly, the night I saw the movie I think I was interpreting it that way too.

The next morning, though, I woke up very very attached to the interpretation that the changing of the timeline was changing all relationships somewhat, and that you could see this reboot as a new universe in the multiverse created when the Ambassador and Nero and Company came through, and that is sort of what my brain has settled on. It allows me to let the original and this reboot sit as independent but beautifully related entities, in my brain, and that's sort of fun.

Also, it sorta makes Ambassador Spock sound even more like a Time Lord, and that's just awesome.
