NO
The problem with safety has been onboard FIRES, not engine failures. The Quads are not required to have firefighting capabilites for the times they are away from a nearby landing field, while the ETOPS twins are required to have cargo firefighting for the entire ETOPS portion of the flight.
A quite sensible precaution in my opinion, and it is long overdue that this be applied to ALL airliners, and that is what is being referred to. The other precaution that is quite sensible is that no one person gets to work on all the engines, so that you avoid a repeat of the Eastern L1011 where all the gaskets were left out of the engines and all 3 engines ran out of oil, and they just barely made it into Miami before the final engine expired.
You can jawbone about protectionism all you want, but these changes are long overdue in view of recent events!
