Is this that point in time where rather than shrug off an engine out incident, we perhaps push toward the next couple of levels of redundancy.

You realise that even with the addition of “the next couple of levels of redundancy” there would still be a possibility - albeit extraordinarily remote - of an incident resulting in a ditching?
