Does it really help so if the procedure is the same but the critical element, the cut-off switch changed function? I'd say no, in that case procedure had changed. If it would have just been some kind of human error, like Air France 447, it wouldn't have grounded the whole fleet for the time being.

It didn't change in a way that would have not stabilized the plane.
What it did do is remove granularity (again, not sure why, as the 737NG setup is perfectly fine) in the options available to the pilot. Regardless, the SOP on using the cutout switches did not change.
