After the release of The Motion Picture, executive producer Gene Roddenberry wrote his own sequel. In his plot, the crew of the Enterprise travel back in time to set right a corrupted time line after Klingons use the Guardian of Forever to prevent the assassination of John F. Kennedy. This was rejected by Paramount executives, who blamed the poor performance and large budget ($46 million) of the first movie on its plodding pace and the constant rewrites Roddenberry demanded. As a consequence, Roddenberry was removed from the production and, according to Shatner, "kicked upstairs" to the ceremonial position of executive consultant.

So let's say alternate history gets a boost... I have a feeling that this movie would be inferior to Khan, which may kill Star Trek. Is it more plausible if the time traveling AH is the first Star Trek movie? Roddenberry blew it with The Motion Picture, and Paramount was rightly pissed.
