Steemit is overall pretty anarchistic, so they don't like "fixing" stuff with rules. That includes the community as well as the company, from what I can tell.
I think if the situation could be seen as a positive for Steem's overall value long-term, it could be seen as beneficial or at least neutral. Hypothetically speaking.
Interesting, when I think of a fix I was assuming more in functionality than rules. I guess rules are used in code to create functionality though.
