I think the most interesting/important part of the report is this:
However, it should be recognised that throughout the investigation all of the testing and research into the root cause of this accident has been conducted on the Boeing 777 / Trent 800 aircraft engine combination, and it is unknown whether other aircraft / engine combinations that have already been certificated might also be vulnerable to this previously unforeseen threat.
Therefore:
Safety Recommendation 2008-048
It is recommended that the Federal Aviation Administration and the European Aviation Safety Agency should take immediate action to consider the implications of the findings of this investigation on other certificated airframe / engine combinations.
Which opens up the possibility that the BA38 scenario might not be confined to the RR 777, or indeed to the 777 at all...
