I keep seeing bits in the news/online about the re-balancing of the aircraft's fuel to lighten the load on the wing above the damaged gear. Is this a realistic thing to do or have the journo's read between the lines when simply the aircraft jettisoned fuel to get down below MLW?

Edit: I see that on the bus the QRH suggests considering opening the crossfeed and turning the pumps off but cant see this realistically having a massive impact on a gear that is stuck up.
