"So although not at all a desirable situation, it is not yet proven that this battery fire was indeed a major thread to the safety of the aircraft. However, it is now an even lower risk as it will for sure always be contained..."

So, we are awaiting "proof" that it is a major threat? Hmmm...... I think this system failed to meet the required conditions. Does it now? Have the conditions been altered to allow what was once prohibited? I think the text required no over pressure, no high temps? The over pressure resulted in a burst that did damage to the bay, and that now requires a special steel case? Temperatures were found to be as high as the melting point of stainless steel? I have asked before, do you know if the battery itself has been redesigned?
