After reading that NTSB safety recommendation, we can expect the French BEA also recommends in the AF 447 report : “Airplanes equipped with Pitot probes must not fly through ice crystal areas”
You can't prohibit environmental encounters.

The regulations can assess the probabilities of such encounters and provide for tolerance of the product to some level, but beyond that the avoidance is basically a recommendation.
