The print-band-aids solution as you point out is a short term fix whilst the problem is resolved. Its a little rich for you to tell me to stop pointing out flaws of other manufacturers. Fair point. Perhaps. But may I suggest you stick to this issue/OEB48 and not make wild generalisations about the Airbus/FBW as a whole.
Admitting there's a fault and producing a robust workaround is highly commendable of Airbus. They didn't wait for smoking holes to appear.
