I'm dying because I want to go to Paris, and it's just because the Eiffel Tower... and that thing... well... 
Even if the Architects say that is temporary, we have to remember that the Eiffel Tower itself was a temporary structure, and after one century we still have it...

Even if it was a temporary extension, I think the Eiffel Tower should always be as it was built originally. This is a symbol of France which is known worldwide, and no one should change it. Imagine if it was decided to modify the Statue of Liberty... I'm pretty sure a lot of people wouldn't agree!
