That's the question I asked Dr Hendry when he gave his talk on Dark Matter and Dark Energy. I asked him that shouldn't the sheer presence of Dark Matter call for the Standard Model to be revised, or, a at least a super-symmetric version. In the case of a super-symmetric version, the Gravitino looks like it couldn't be the origin of Dark Energy, so we're still stuck with at least one of them.
I think he was visiting UWA to promote gravity wave research.
