Is 2010 a legitimate sequel to 2001: A Space Odyssey?

[Q?]

".According to Arthur C, Clarke, "The book and film were written simultaneously, with feedback in both directions" (from The Lost Worlds of 2001, by Clarke)."
"
.There is no reason to believe that Clarke and Kubrick were in complete agreement on what all of the details and nuances of the story and the ideas were."

Alright, this is of course in your opinion, as I understand 2010 is a "official" sequel to 2001.
In my opinion it's like saying S. Darko IS a sequel to Donnie Darko.
Yes 2001 the movie is based on Clarke's work and it was more of a collaborative effort.
But then again so much of Stanley vision and ideas were used for the movie that it ultimately was Stanley's movie.
As I understand it Stanley pretty much had the last say about the movie and what direction it should take.
I do not see 2010 as a real sequel to 2001, as Stanley did not want a sequel made for HIS movie.
"Stanley Kubrick had all models and sets from 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) destroyed to prevent their reuse, thus the model of the spaceship Discovery had to be constructed from pictures." http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0086837/trivia
That says it all in my opinion.
