Looking toward the future, how much nose up trim do you really need at FL350?

Are you ever going to drop the flaps up there?

Maybe the control laws need to be looked at in this regard.

Shouldn't some limiting AOA shut down nose up autotrim in Alt law before it gets really ridiculous?

I hate the thought of limiting control authority in some corners of the envelope, but it seems we are moving in a direction where future pilots will need yet more coddling.
