  We review the situation regarding d=5 proton decay in the minimal
supersymmetric SU(5) GUT. The minimal theory is defined as the theory with the
minimal matter and Higgs content all the way up to the Planck scale; of course,
this allows for the possible presence of Planck induced physics. It can be said
that either higher dimensional operators must be present or/and some
fine-tuning of O(1%) of the Higgs mass must be tolerated in order to save the
theory.
