I wrote in my journal about how this development actually seemed to bring the Church more in line with the description in the Doctrine & Covenants. I wrote that I could imagine a future day when there would be seven full quorums of seventy members each, functioning under the direction of the seven presidents.

But I had never expected that more than seven Quorums of Seventy would be organized. The wording seemed to limit it to that many quorums. I was wrong. I guess the wording “And also other seventy, until seven times seventy, if the labor in the vineyard of necessity requires it,” (D&C 107:96) didn’t mean exactly what I thought it meant. Maybe it means we can have seven-times-seventy quorums of seventy. Or maybe it just means we can have as many as are needed.
