Diamonds aren’t forever.  Diamonds are for about 10160 years ... just like any other baryonic matter.

Ah, I wasn't aware of that. But I believe you said we have a 10^33 lower bound from the deep Cerenkov detectors, right? Which would tend to argue against those particular GUTs...

By "problematic" I mean disfavored in their stock form, and less appealing when they are made more complicated to avoid this problem.
