    Not in canon.

    "Canon" is a hotly debated topic to this very day. It shouldn't be.
    When there was only TOS, the idea that what showed up onscreen took precedence over
    anything in print was merely for the convenience of the showrunners. They figured
    they had a tough enough time not contradicting their own canons, much less having
    to worry about what people they had no control over were saying in print.
    But starting with the Berman and Bennett regimes, long-running Trek mysteries were
    more often than not answered with such dunderhead explanations that my
    eyes are still rolling to this day! Like an "augment virus" melting Klingon skull
    ridges. OMFG
    What's wrong with a simple Klingons are a multiracial empire? Even if you do not
    resemble the race that conquered your people way back when, you can still proudly
    call yourself a Klingon and man the battle cruisers! But I could write a book on
    the wrong turns this franchise took at Albuquerque; that's another story.
    My point is YOU must decide for yourself what "happened" or "didn't happen" in this
    universe in order to be happy. Don't let anyone use any obsolete rules to make you
    choke down what THEY want you to accept.
    MY canon does not include all aired episodes or films, and it does include the best
    novels, comic books, and fanfic. That's the way I like it.

    To each his own.
    Canon is what the IP holders decide.
    But, I get your point. My cut-off point is 2005.
    The augment virus I found rather elegant.
