Personally, I'd say what you call "continuity" is at least 51% "brand identity". Much more important to WotC than you suggest.

Like I said before, 3e ejected most of the 2e material completely and seemed to be pretty successful for doing so.
What 2nd Ed material and how was it successful?
What from 2e actually survives INTO 3e?
Lots of lore.
There are easily as many differences between 2e and 3e as there are between 3e and 4e. 3e rejects virtually all things 2e and retains almost nothing of its flavour.
Not at all, there is a commonality between 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Ed; 4th Ed is an Advanced version of the Dungeons & Dragons Miniatures game, has little to do with D&D.
