Today, Ethereum has made the right call.
They have realized that a project in beta can't be completely autonomous with-out human intervention, not right out of the gate.
What we've seen today is a sof fork to rescue The DAO funds: https://github.com/ethereum/ethereumj/r ... -daoRescue
I do agree this was the right call, the market also agrees.
You must always listen to the market.
