QF32 had a major problem with its monitoring and fuel control vv shutdown in the first place. Problem solved (?) with new software. #2 should have shutdown well before Burst. That was danger enough to have brought down this flight. Two cold engines on one side is not a good thing. I am with you, losing #1 due auto shutdown would have been not good. The Burst caused the very real worry of loss of this flight. So to answer the Burst with more "Automatic Shutdown" seems contra sensible. The EEC and monitoring programs were at fault. Looked at from a failure trail pov, the Burst was secondary to cocked up controls at the outset, No?? There is a fair amount of attention being paid the Data Entry Plug and its interface with the two channels of the EEC I'd wager.
