@oldchina: The problem is said aircraft was considered "impossible" to stall (no matter how crazy that idea actually is) prior to AF447. This has changed with stall awareness and recovery training now being mandated as a result.

Yes it is preposterous that any such suggestion would be made, but it is implied by the lack of training and the fact that FBW systems are infallible as far as Airbus and the regulators are concerned.

I'm willing to bet that whatever the outcome of the investigation, the systems and training will not be considered a root cause, merely a "contributing factor", and that the crew should have known better (but I'm straying into speculation now).
