Seems like it will be a nuisance for serious astronomers. Who wants a -10 mag source crossing through the field of your long exposure high sensitivity imaging effort?

There’s already dozens of iridium satellites. This will be a very small increment in annoyance. BTW, I believe that the -10 Magnitude estimate is wildly optimistic.
