How bad is transaction malleability, really?

Just a quick poll to gauge sentiment.

it is just another problem that must be fixed. Thats all.

I don't see a problem I just see update needed.

I mentioned the problem with relaying tweeked transactions with different hashes in 2011

We should  start recommending a caconical unique tx format and make it mandatory quickly.

As to the severity of the problenm, it is cosmetic, long known, doesn't lose bitcoins, and exchanges  should know better and generate their own unique transaction hashes from the transaction data.

That said, it's getting us a ton of bad press among the non-technical, and needs to be nipped in the bud.

It's a nuisance, like when too much dust was being passed around. It'll pass.
