Odds etherium does another hard fork to fix this bug?

The DAO held nearly 14% of all ethereum in existence, 153,000ETH is less than .2%.
153,000 / 93,405,120[0] = 0.001638025838

And there's more Ethereum now. The DAO was a ~$50 million fraud. This was a ~$30 million fraud. Obviously this is totally different and there's nothing we can do about it and it's just fine. People should have known better than to use parity with this bug in it.

Reminds me of the Winston Churchill story:
“Churchill: "Madam, would you sleep with me for five million pounds?" Socialite: "My goodness, Mr. Churchill... Well, I suppose... we would have to discuss terms, of course... "
Churchill: "Would you sleep with me for five pounds?"
Socialite: "Mr. Churchill, what kind of woman do you think I am?!"
Churchill: "Madam, we've already established that. Now we are haggling about the price.”
We've already established that they will fork. Now we are haggling about the price.

Considering how powerful, famous and charismatic he was, I think, makes one consider that maybe it was Churchill who was being insulted, not the socialite.
"Would you sleep with me?" "Maybe for a million dollars..."

Says it all, I think, whether sarcastic or not.
