Who knows. ETH can just do anything because there is a centralized team of developers led by one king controlling it.
I'm bitter; there's no real reason for me to have missed that train. I just think the DAO is a substantially stupid idea. Am I wrong?
I don't know. I bought a small amount of DAO just because the entire thing was bought out in an IPO at that level and rising, plus it's backed by ETH. Strictly a supply/demand play. And now I'm thinking of selling due to an equally abstract reason - so I don't get in trouble with a court.
