Not a world-ending problem, but it disrupts continuity. And the Black was certainly NOT the shadowfell in any sense, though the Gray almost was. For Krynn, the Abyss is a very different animal and there is also no precedent for the Feywild or the Shadowfell. Aside from the cosmology (and propably fodder for a different thread), I wonder how we're supposed to shoe-horn in Dragonborn, Tieflings, and Eladrin? I guess if you advance Krynn's timeline you can turn the Silvanesti into the Eladrin, Draconains evolving into Dragonborn, but no idea on Tieflings. And once again, when you do that, you eliminate some of the elements of the setting that made it unique. The uniqueness of those settings is what set some of them apart, trying to make them all the same diminishes that a great deal. All of this would be easily solved, and make everyone happy, by just saying: you know what, the default cosmology for D&D 4E is THIS, and we're going to write most of our books with that in mind, BUT for specific settings we will take into account their differences. I hold out hope that they'll still do that, but everything we've gotten so far says they want to homogenize all of the settings into one similar thing.</blockquote>
