This story directly states that the Warner Doctor's previous stories are not part of the same timeline as the mainstream DWU; rather, they are an offshoot "what if" scenario.

However, because mainstream Bernice Summerfield crosses into this timeline, it is now a timeline visited by a mainstream character. I see no reason to treat this timeline as any different from any other point-of-divergence timeline; therefore, I believe Sympathy for the Devil (et al) should be valid sources for this timeline.

(In other words: the question isn't whether The Unbound Universe is valid, because it most certainly passes our rules barring an overly strict definition of "DWU"; the real question is whether it changes the status of Sympathy and Masters retroactively.)
