One more comment, although this UB blow-up thing is far reaching and
should be incorporated into this list, I don't think we necessarily
have the duty to incorporate everything that comes out in SR novels.
Sourcebooks, yes, but not the fiction books. If this is also in game
modules (which it seems it is), then fine. As long as it really becomes
part of FASA's world, I can't argue with it, but people can't expect all
the others on the list to read (or even have access to) all the minor
addenda that comes out. The example with TSR was a good one. How would
you like to administer a list that tried to successfully incorporate
everything TSR put out. I don't think it could be done. Once again,
building this UB thing in to the plot is fine, and the developments
should come as a surprise (of varying degrees) to the characters, but
it should NOT be a surprise to the writers, especially not a de facto/
fait accompli surprise.
