Much the same as transonic roll-off, where the "fix" is presumably to stay out of the zone where it happens.

"Doctor, my back goes into spasm when I bend over to tie my shoes."

"Here's a prescription for a pair of loafers. Next patient, nurse!"

The question is whether and how it is being demonstrated that the excess flex is not going to cause other problems over the engine's projected lifetime.
