Bringing things back on-topic, I personally am surprised and delighted that we move in this direction (back to the universal fork as trunk) rather than force an upgrade.  I've a sense that it will spur a correction which will ease into an upward trending block size though, and since I don't agree with this I find it unfortunate.

Although at least one person has probably already pointed this out, it bears repeating that Bitcoin is still and experimental system, and has only just started to begin the climb to where it could end up.  Nobody should be totally shocked at this type of glitch, and everyone who understands systems of this nature should expect more where this one came from.  Hopefully none of them will represent a terminal event for the solution, but it is certainly possible.
