It is strange to me that this article doesn't question the idea that Boeing and the FAA did not know before that the old wiring didn't meet current standards.
Of course they knew.
But it also seems that the old wiring design has been verified by the test of time and they have data showing the crashes weren't related to it.
So I think that ripping out all of the wiring on the planes and rushing to replace it with a new system, then rushing to test that new system, is the surest way to increase the likelihood of another system failure and possibly even kill off the Boeing brand if that happens.
