The novels themselves would be the other half of "continuity porn"
I maintain that it is the novels that cause all the problems. Staying abreast of the Realms is quite simple if you only rely on the game books but the novels are a problem (in part because many of the earlier ones are turgid dreck).
I try to run a canon game as much as possible but, by the same token, I'm enjoying my attempts to run a post-Spellplague 4E game neither aided nor hindered by canon.
I always tell my players that the game will be as close to canon as possible but the novels will be ignored.
(And folks... some of us are semi-autistic arch-pedants. It's "canon" unless we're talking about a big gun.)
