Think about it: Do you really want the core bitcoin client to constantly be updated and changed where a careless change might fork or otherwise compromise the blockchain?

The Malleability issue only becomes a real issue when it is not properly handled which in this case is directly linked to custom software used by exchanges.
People need to realize that bitcoin is distributed software and works because all participants comply to a specific set of protocols.
If you change this protocol and older versions reject elements of the new protocol you will have a very real risk of forking the blockchain into an "old"  and " new"  branch.

In this sense it is good that things are not being rushed because we sure as hell don't want or need a forking of the blockchain at this instance
