The fact is, some folks will second-guess. Fact remains, there are soem changes that will happen. The tile-repair system they had considered will probably be put up there as a means to try to repair the damage, and they will have the means to pull off spacewalks available, although that will reduce the payload a shuttle can carry.
They will also watch, and the next time there is debris hits like the one they had on STS-107, they will abort the mission. It looks like it was a freak accident for the most part.

Quick question...
Each tile is custom-formed to a specific shape.
How do you have a "tile repair kit" under such circumstances?
