 Well, although it doesn't directly address the question, in general a main dichotomy in extensions of ZFC is whether V=L.  With the  great success of core model theory the case against it has been strengthened.  However a few die-hards still think that even this is inconclusive, and the question remains as mystifying as ever.  Indeed, if 0# exists then one can construct K^DJ.  But this isn't really evidence that it does.

Could you elaborate on this claim? In what way do Todorcevic and Woodin come from “different traditions” in set theory?  What writings of Kanamori support this claim, and how?
