The community was penny wise and pound foolish. They saved their asses on that one stupid investment and set a terrible precedent that is going to come back to haunt them every time someone releases a smart contract with a bug in it.

Either the code is the contract or it isn't.

Btw -- what has the DAO even accomplished after they 'saved' it?

It has warned a lot of people to stay the hell away from this kind of construct because it can't be trusted. That's a pretty good accomplishment.
