Dear OVERTALK,
my 10 pennyworth
I wouldn't like any flying control doing something I hadn't told it too, that's part of the reason I don't fly Airbuses!
Tailstrikes are usually caused by incorrect technique, so the best cure I believe is through training and monitoring of trends such as the SESMA program in British Airways.
This is better than designing out the problem and encouraging bad habits which could be transferred to other types.

Best regards, PTC
