Rules are supposed to be applied, otherwise do away with them.

Intelligent and flexible application of the rules is what F1 needs, not uneducated kneejerk reactions by those ignorant of racing. This is exactly why the new system whereby key decisions are made not by FIA reps who may or may not have been to a race before but by former F1 racing drivers. In this case the correct decision was made. No overtaking under yellows as has been pointed out many times already is there primarily to protect the marshalls. Vettel drove in a manner sufficient to ensure their safety, the key here is the fact that he overtook Trulli who had serious problems and who was incapable of maintaining anything like a race pace.
