I was gong through the ditching procedure after engine power failure and found it to be too cumbersome and time consuming in a similar situation. Airbus needs to revise the QRH procedure right away or add one to cover such a drastic case.
No we don't need another checklist entry (Planned Ditching/UNplanned Ditching). The crew proved they can think and deal with a very unusual situation.

We will not be able to 'procedurize' (to use the popular word here in the States) everything. Were we to add items to checklists after every accident or 'drastic events', we would soon be taking out 3-5 rows of seats just to accommodate the additional weight and add a third crewmember, the FL (Flight Librarian).
