Someone "somehow" popped the clutch circuit breaker once after engine start which lead to an incident. Now there is an additional "circuit breakers in" check after engine start on the checklist. I suppose now we'll see an addional "mags to BOTH" added somewhere to the bottom?
you mean something that should have been there in the first place? If adding it stops another pilot getting airborne with faulty mags he hasn't checked properly, you can't really argue that it is a bad thing.

All military helicopters I have flown have extensive checklists that are committed to memory and not one of them has taken as long as 10 mins to start and get airborne including first flight functional checks.

Commercial pilots are usually required to complete challenge and response checks from lists so what is the problem with checklists?
