I'm going to complain about this until it happens and then enjoy it and then continue complaining for another ten years BUT after that I will pretend I always thought it was brilliant and beloved nugget of Trek lore.
Please no.
That ship has decidely sailed, with both franchises on the space rocks at the moment.
That was my immediate thought after reading the headline... Which showrunners? Neither franchise has any upcoming show to run.
But I think Pelia's call out is enough of a crossover. A wink. I think you could do something similar with The Doctor, call out something like space whales and you'll be good.

Already done, The Beast Below
Brilliant! Then we're done.
I'd rather they just do a cameo. Doesn't matter which Trek show, but have the away team walk by a TARDIS. That's all you need to do to show that the crossover could happen, but get people talking about it, and most will soon realise why it shouldn't.
Or make two episodes where they are in the same setting, but are doing two different things. They can cross paths, but they shouldn't interact.
Or maybe not. Star Trek lore is messy enough.
The Lux episode was bad enough.
But, by all means, enshittify one of the few TV shows I actually enjoy.
New episodes you don't like won't erase your favourite old episodes. You'll be fine.
Only if it's the holodeck/holosuite
Only if it's Sisko on the Star Fleet side and he gives Dr. Who the Q treatment.
I find this image hilarious, but Dr. Who is so wholesome most of the time it's hard for me to imagine Sisko getting more than mildly annoyed by his antics.
Ok sub in the Master for Q.
Miles and Julian in a holosuite would be acceptable
