The thing is, Marvel is more than just the opinion of one person, even if that person is executive editor. Also, for reference, you are implying that he alone has the highest-ranking authority to decide those things, but that's the job of the editor-in-chief afaik, who is not Brevoort, but Axel Alonso. And considering the *can't have it both ways* thing: Well, then I could also argue that everything happening in Starlin's latest Thanos stories, including the cosmic ranking Thanos with the IG did, which you personally hold so high, must also be invalidated, because Akhenaten was referenced in it. And one could also argue against basically any Handbook entry based on your statement that only temporary interns worked on it. But anyway, I have no interest on a conflict about this, I'll let ADour give the final notion and leave it at that. Neither me, you or anybody else should take it into their hands to decide those kind of things.

EDIT: And about Death being permanent, as this was a an AU-Thanos, he could've simply not cared about other universes and make Death permanent solely in his reality. Easy as pie ^^ The rules are not as strict as they sometimes seem to be, basically any writer can bend them as he wills (sometimes in a good, sometimes in a bad way. But in a universe that huge, 100% consistency is impossible)
