It's not a solution, it's a short-term workaround while the problem is investigated (albeit internally under EASA supervision) and fixed - just as the increased Vapp was in the 737 case.

Given that Airbus FBW pilots are now being trained to deal with the equivalent of double ADR failure and initial upset in the wake of AF447, could that not be considered to mitigate the risk somewhat?
