Possibly it should add that a psychiatrist will be needed on board every flying 737 MAX to calm passenger nerves?

Not only is the737MAX name tainted, but I believe that the acronym "MCAS" is similarly tainted. I would have thought that Boeing would need to come up with a new name for the "modified" software so that any passenger with doubts could be told that MCAS no longer exists but has been replaced by a new improved piece of software. However, re-branding the 737MAX as something else may prove trickier, as it would be very easy to say "ah yes, it's just a 737MAX with a different name" (for those in the UK, a bit like re-naming Sellafield to Winscale).

Let's just hope that the "fix" involves elimination of a single sensor providing a high-priority input for the computers......
