Ultimizing (is that word?) would only be a temporary solution to the problem.
It's not continuity that's making comics hard to get into, it's the way it's being handled.
Throw away the "old" universe and in 10 years the "new" one will have all the same problems.

If they want to keep the stories fresh and accesable, they need to have the writers do 2 things. 1) Make changers sure, but don't do anything that can't be either undone or worked around/with later. Killing off major characters just to boost ratings is a bad idea. 2) Keep stories in the present. Don't make a plotline that will take 20 years to resolve itself. And if you use events from 20-year-old comics, make sure you show the readers what happened back then and why they should care.

Let's hope Marvel doesn't go the way of DC. I don't want to see Crisis of 616!

Yeah, you're right, Garble, but gee, that's just too common sense for the pointy heads in charge.
