"Boeing proposed a ten-point package that includes installing a fireproof container around the aircraft’s lithium-ion batteries, new venting system for fumes, and changes in the cockpit checklist. Boeing also said it plans to develop a new battery design that will measure the temperature and any voltage changes in individual cells."
without further explanations from Boeing, to me this sounds less like solving the problem, and more like they are preparing for test flights: trying to mitigate and contain damage with a new fireproof container, more spacing and venting, and at the same time gather more data by installing more sensors.
afaik the root cause is still unknown. yet Boeing claims this is "not an interim fix but a permanent fix". I hope some more information is forthcoming.
