Which part? Is it good that there was a 0day in a supermajority of clients? Absolute not. This is why we deploy experimental cryptography on rollups with "training wheels" (what toly keeps criticizing for being "just a multisig"), why we have client diversity, why we do incentivized testnets/bounties, etc. Is it good that a consensus change can be quickly and quietly implemented and deployed? I'd argue no, some things are supposed to easy and some are supposed to be hard, this is one of those things that is supposed to be hard for good reason. Is it good that nobody was using this feature (according to mert) and nobody lost money? Yes.
