Should we be concerned that over 50% of the mining power is controlled by two pools? https://blockchain.info/pools

This seems like a really bad concentration of power for a network that is supposed to be decentralized.  Sure, it's handy when you need to fix a bug in the system, but it's also a weak point that can be exploited.  Thoughts?
