Pardon the expression, but if not that, WTF are they
fixing?
Speculation: Put limit on how much MCAS can command nose down trim. If MCAS trim authority is limited, they can argue aircraft controllable
Edit: Come to think of it, they may be able to get rid of the MCAS all together with nose ballast that shift CoG position. Yes it increases trim drag, which in turn increases fuel consumption. But depending on how much CoG shift is needed to have monotonic AoA control response, it might be tolerable, especially with all the stigma from single point failure
