I dunno having the Higurashi Wormhole still active kinda complicates it a lot more than it should be.
You can spin an entire series off of people trying to exploit that little well for economic gain. Imagine Sterling's old short story "Mozart in Mirrorshades" spun large - a technically superior future universe exploits past timelines.
The appeal of the 163X series is that Grantville was totally on its own. Period. If they had screwed up they were screwed.
