Hardly reassuring - hopefully EASA and others will look at the 4000+ still to be produced (if customers don't bale out) and demand a fix that isn't a bodge on top of a bodge.
That statement may be 'journalese', but I would be very unhappy with my life depending on a computer deciding what is and is not an 'emergency'. My understanding is that's the pilots role, and they shouldn't be happy with MCAS either.
