Your
reasonably can be interpreted as having the thought that other things could be done.
Based on elements pointed out on the AF 447 threads, there could be for instance:
a) provide a "better redundancy" of the sensors, as at the moment, they are all of the same kind, and positioned quite closely to each other, and thus providing a high probability of sharing the same failure fate, in similar conditions.
b) resolving the "lack of", or "confusing information" provided by the "A/C to Pilot Information Interface", by diversifying the parameters used to calculate certain extreme dangerous/fatal conditions, like Stall, and provide a separate and distinct "approach to Stall", and a "A/C is Stalled" Warnings.

The important resources dedicated by the French Government, Airbus, Air France, and others for two years... .to find and recover all what was left of AF 447, for a good understanding of what happened, and what caused it, seem to show the commitment and determination in adopting a wide range of solutions to avoid a repetition of an AF 447 type accident in the future.
