Short-term fix?

Hi,

Boeing readies short-term battery fix, facing uncertainty

Short term fix?

The issue is complex?

1. Corporate insanity?
2. Mountain of internal processes making the path forward glacial-speed?
3. Intense FAA review of certification found other serious non-battery concerns?
4. Battery charge/discharge electronics and software dispersed and tightly woven into the overall aircraft systems, making any change a vast undertaking?
5. Legal battles with suppliers?
6. ...?
