I too question Kimball's death being canon.
Kimball dying would mean:
-A sudden change in the NCR, probably for the better. They'd be less warbound, which doesn't make for good games...
-The NCR would be ticked off at Vegas. Seems unneccesary, and, considering that the game protagonists generally do good and are seen as heroes, it would seem pretty weird if the canon ending turned out to be "the Courier secured an independent New Vegas, but managed to piss the NCR off in the process, ruining Vegas' economy and creating further conflict with the NCR in the future." Pretty bad ending...
-The NCR is demoralized and the Legion is in good spirits, then the Legion loses? (incredibly unlikely that Legion is canon) Pretty anti-climactic.
