I have to agree that we have to fix this. It's a fact that the retarget time with the current diff is a major problem right now.
I don't see how waiting would solve anything. The current situation isn't appealing to either miners or investors.

Various ideas have been tossed around about how difficult retargets should be approached and basically manipulated in order to counter multipools.
Seriously, forking the coin does sound silly to some of you but going through the effort of playing the system like that doesn't?
