Look, I think they're using Days of Future Past and First Class as a sort-of-reboot. They've already rebooted the style of the series to something better (although that's arguable, I feel that First Class was a much better film than any of the original trilogy). And Days of Future Past will have some alternate timeline kinda thing happening.

What I'm hoping is that Fox will use Days of Future Past to give reason for continuity issues, and have some crazy timey-whimey thing going on that means that Fox can still keep the old X-Men trilogy by nodding to its existence, but moving on from it, pretty much ignoring any continuity from it. It means that they can still be proud of them and say that they had fun, but its over. And then move on to a pretty-much-rebooted franchise (with some of the same casting, I guess) that shares a universe with the FF, and maybe someday the MCU and ASM.
