Mainly because this aircraft had different engines to the BA one, the issue with the BA engines were due to the fuel/oil heat exchanger, which has now ben modified anyway. Also procedures were brought in to clear any ice during the descent.
The testing NEVER reproduced the accident conditions properly. They only managed to have engine failures using totally unrepresentative amounts of water in the test fuel system.
