Seeing as the bigger problem is regulatory capture, I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for the FAA to fix that incentive structure.
One thing I don't see talked about much is that the expense of retraining was going to be incurred if the manual was expanded, so this incentivized them to minimize any documentation of the new system. This is a clear failure of regulatory incentives, and I hope the FAA considers ways to improve the incentive structure so this doesn't happen again.
