The same relevance as a re engined 737 maybe?
There was no reason to suspect Boeing had totally cocked up the Max or suspect it would end up being a death trap until it did! No reason to suspect the NGX "pickle forks" would crack until they did. So, here they want to re engine another old design and do whatever software "fixes" are required to keep it in the air until it goes wrong and they will then hold up their hands in mock horror and say "Wow, who knew".
I know I'll probably get a kicking from all the Boeing lovers/Airbus haters out there but these are purely my feelings.
