So yeah, Enterprise could be a new timeline. But it's almost certainly a timeline that still contains TOS, TNG, DS9 and VOY.
If it did, Braga wouldn't have needed to say anything. I feel that ENT is now free of TOS/TNG/DS9/VGR, and this is a good thing. Now the Romulan War can happen anytime, and the ending isn't pre-ordained. Earth can lose. The xindi War can prevent the Romulan War. The Federation may or may not come to be. The future is open-ended again. As long as the "original" timeline is available to tell stories in, let ENT be it's own universe. Darkwing

But it basically means that Enterprise lost its purpose... it's no longer a prequel series, it's just a... bad sci-fi series (and yes, I don't like Enterprise. After 'Night in Sickbay' it is clear to me that Archer doesn't have any qualifications to command anything - and if the producers still insist that he's a good captain then there's something very wrong with the series... )

With the premiere happening next week, let's look over the tech "The Expanse" brought us. We discovered a whole schqack of stuff about Earth, but we'll not be seeing any more of it anytime soon...
