Whilst i appreciate I'm no fan of the blanket NO DIV policy i cannot believe given the circumstances that Man would not have allowed this back in had the crew requested this.
A tech issue could soon become an emergency so i think its safe to assume even MAN would not have been so robust in it's implementation.
I assumed it headed East to a quieter area of airspace to dump fuel for a lighter landing at CDG , a descent to 9000ft and subsequent holding would however suggest pressurisation issues.
Looking at the timing of posts here it was nigh on a 3 hour transit so not great for the passengers.
