Yeah--I'm not saying we should give up. But there's not a lot coming out of this as exoplanet excitement right now besides, "Look another one." We're up around 4000 of these. The 4001st isn't that interesting.
The spectroscopy studies, and that's pretty much going to be the extent of any knowledge we gain about these planets in our lifetimes, will be limited to a knowledge of some of the chemicals in atmosphere. Good to know for science, but sadly it will be little to answer the big questions about life on other planets.
