Anyway, who's to say the show has to move on a one-year to a season ratio? I mean, that tends to get followed out of convenience, but there's no real need for the series to end in 2158.
On the other hand, there are even advantages to not having the series encompass the foundation of the Federation.

Plus, it could leave plenty of room for a big-budget feature film with the Enterprise crew, which actually details the founding of the Federation.
Now *that* would be cool. And a possible lead-in to a sequel series.

The movie might even work. Bakula is a big enough name, Trek still draws sufficient audiences, the concept of "Federation" would be known well enough even by casual fans and non-fans...
Anybody note how Bakula called Archer's ship "the first starship"? I hope the writers are not going to use that terminology, for obvious reasons!

Well, one problem I see with the Enterprise being the first human starship is that it really limits the amount of Human/Earth ships we're going to get to see.

Except of course if they are going by TOS' vague concept of 'Starship'.
Remember Mr. Mudd in one of the first episodes? "I didn't know you were a star-ship!"
