What I'd do is basically "give credit to where it came from" in the form of how it got into FR. My initial thought is something along the line of:"On the world of Oerth, in a section of that world generally referred to as Greyhawk, arose a great evil. [insert very brief and loose description of what happened] Upon it's second attempted rise back up from the ruins, a hearty group of adventurers finally destroyed the temples masters, and in doing so disrupted the planar magics that were anchored in that fell place. Or so they believed... As the demons howled at their defeat, Zuggtmoy, thought destroyed, lashed out in an attempt to hold onto the moral world. She found a small tear between the planes, and through that arrived in Faerune. [insert new background on Temple of Elemental Evil]"   Basically, pay homage to the "original", and set up an entirely new background for the Forgotten Realms version. This would do a few things: First, it might get me to buy it. Second, it wouldn't annoy as many Greyhawk'ers (or may annoy them less), thus reducing "setting animosity" between fans...maybe. Third, it would give the FR a whole new "classic", without the FR fans feeling like they were getting hand-me-downs from their older brother. I think this would be a win/win situation. Personally, I'd liken it to the "newer" Star Trek movies...the "complete reboot" ones from '09 and '13; still Star Trek, same characters, different "realities" or "timelines" that allowed for following movies to not step on the toes of what had already been established for the series/older-movies.  Oh, and as for other Settings you missed: Lots. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> (Birthright, Dragonlance, Mystara, Maztica, Kara-Tur, Jakandor, ...here's a list of most "D&D" settings, not all owned by WotC, but anyways... <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dungeons_%26_Dragons_campaign_settings" target="_blank">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dungeons_&_Dragons_campaign_settings</a> ). I'd like to see what they could do with Dragonlance and Birthright, personally.^_^Paul L. Ming</blockquote>
