I actually love these bursts of inter-faction RP that are beginning to pop out of the ground. They are making me join the factions involved... and that's what the factions want, right?
I wished there were no set background plots made by the devs (who wants Gallia anyway?). Instead, it should really be an open universe where the players really form the plot.
Want to declare war on a house which has repeatedly sent military vessels into your territory? But can't because of a silly fixed background plot that makes you eternal allies? Sucks.
So yeah, I personally approve of this conflict and any others (as long as they make sense inRP).
PS @ Daedric: If you dont like the conflict-RP, dont go down to the Omegas for a week or two. Simple as that.
