The current status quo is that SCOTUS is staffed based on who happens to die and who happens to be President at that time. That's a terrible design: Roe v. Wade should not hang on whether there was an economic recession two years ago. So if there's a court-packing arms race, that may not be a bad thing. It would bring this anachronism to a head.
