Shouldn't be too quick to dismiss it. Since that MAN accident, BA and my current emloyer have been putting into practice the turn. All it takes is a final reminder before you go that 'this is the upwind engine, so if it is on fire, we must try and remember to turn left/right before we stop, and if you can, try and remind me before we stop' ie 'wind is from there, so if the left engine is on fire, we turn left OK?'. So it then doesn't take any mental capacity on the take-off. If it blows a fire away from the slides, it must be worth a try.
