About the LED retraction during reverse thrust - it was really a legacy thing from when the hot stream reversers existed and all this hot air could blow on to the LEDs and entrain stuff to damage them. Fan reversers are actually in front of the LEDs close to their engines but why bugger around with certification stuff? Just leave well enough alone.
