It's politics as usual actually, read up on the history of "superdelegates" and you'll see that it's far more complicated than you're making it. As with most political processes there are measure created to make the process of electing political representatives more balanced, and this concept was one of them created in the 70's.
This is just the first time that the superdelegates might actually determine a nomination, so the concept is getting quite a lot of publicity. The Dems have had them for several elections and there haven't been any issues before.
