Well, the whole them-not-trusting-Discord thing is because of common sense. I mean, think about it--this guy almost TOOK OVER THE WORLD. He is by FAR the least-predictable character in the show. I'd say he's not 100% reformed. He's still Discord, as you said--which means he's still not exactly someone you'd trust with your life. That said, I think Celestia is doing the right thing--being pragmatic about someone like Discord.

Because, well, this is another truth that the episode teaches: Sure, people can change, and you should give them a second chance, and all that stuff, but when it comes to forgiving and forgetting, IT TAKES TIME. This was only a day or two. Discord's got a LOT of work cut out for him if he really wants to be trusted by the other ponies, and for REALLY good reasons.

So yeah. Basically, don't hate on Celestia like that. She's doing what any good ruler should do--and any sane person--because, sure, Discord's not as evil anymore, but the fact remains he's still Discord, and thus you'd be STUPID to trust in him. (Heck, Fluttershy knew that Discord was behind the chaos--she knew the whole TIME that Discord wasn't exactly trustworthy. I'm willing to bet she's willing to stop him even if it means hurting their friendship should the time come...and that she's sure a lot of tough times are ahead with him alive, anyway.)
