Meh. It just means that Litecoin isn't significant enough to be taken seriously yet. That's not something proud or good for Litecoin.
See my point above to D&T.
Litecoin being segregated in the mining business from bitcoin is healthy.
ASIC's are an unstoppable part of any cryptographic 'coin' as it gets more accepted and widespread. It would seem that at the moment Litecoin is 'safe' from ASIC's and can only be mined by GPU's, but an ASIC is sure to come if Litecoin gains fame and widespread acceptance like Bitcoin does.
