The "21" controversy

Apparently, someone somewhere is still discussing retiring Roberto's #21 across baseball (I had forgotten that the conversation was taking place at all) and Jackie Robinson's daughter is not pleased about it. I can understand the arguments on both sides, but it appears to me that by dragging their feet on the issue (as far as I can tell the MLB hasn't really addressed it yet, they'll have to say something eventually, this isn't going to go away if it hasn't at this point), baseball has gotten itself into a tricky situation that now won't be able to end without someone being upset.
