I don't know. Abrams seems to be more of a star wars guy than a star trek one. And Episode VII isn't written by by the unholy trinity of Orci,Kurtzman, and Lindelof.
It's more of a glass half-empty thing. No, it's not being written by Orci/Kurtzman and Lindelof, but on the other hand Abrams threw out Arndt's draft so he could completely re-write it. The fact that he's doing so with Kasdan's input is the glass half-full perspective.
Tossing out what most likely was a Lucas/Disney idea and bringing in Kasdan to help with a total rewrite is, to me at least, much more than half full. He's looking for guidance from someone who was very involved in the film largely considered the best of the series.
