Dave, I also have an old memory that a seized fan was a critical case for EROPS/ETOPS range due to increased overall aircraft drag - I can't readily resolve that against some of the comments here.
Yup ! therein lies the crux of this discussion throughout this whole thread
you can lead a horse to water .....
Like many other fun threads on this net, we often end up voting our answers. That's why in the end I just rely on what the FCOM manual says since that at least has been carefully thought out
btw, I also recall the documentation provided to the FAA regarding seized rotor drag (due to icing between the blades and casing) in the event of a forced descent into icing conditions in an ETOPs event. So it seems that it wasn't enough of a problem to stand in the way of granting ETOPS
