Seems like you could have the software quickly close the bleed valves with high VIBs or big mismatch between N1 & N2.
the fix is already being done. The LRD exists in some form on all engines with the large fan disks. It is a certification requirement. The FAA has said it does not want manuals to be 6000 pages and include every little detail of every system in an airplane. It does not improve safety. The only reason this is news is because it is Boeing and that Limey F&$k wants clicks.
