Hyd pumps and fuel pumps are important too. So are the HF radios if they are going to fuel the beast.
The way we used to do it was a Read and Do and a Challenge and Reply. The FO read and did what he touched and the CA replied to what he did. CA also shut the engines down at the gate, so he replied to that one. Maybe we will go that direction now that we have time to wait for the FAA approval process.
