Actually, it looks like the safety recommendations are pretty specific, and there are clear references to AoA in both the new note and the recommendations. AF come in for implied criticism due to there being no established procedure for a flightdeck when the captain is not present as well as training in general (it appears that neither PF nor PNF called the "Unreliable IAS" procedure), and there is a recommendation for an AoA display, which will be down to Airbus and Boeing to implement - if the regulators take the recommendations up, as well as for flight recorders to record extra parameters (including all visible instruments).

So no, it's not anything like a final report, but steps forward have been made and it appears that any fears that AF or Airbus would be "protected" from criticism or requests for change were unfounded.
