I wonder if they've addressed the rudder pedal boost, which was
apparently much more sensitive than necessary?

That was a pilot training issue, not a design error. Remember?

While technically true, it's unfair to single out the actual pilot of the
doomed aircraft. Almost all of us believed that what he did would NOT have
resulted in the total destruction of the airplane.

I still believe that they should use software to limit rudder input
sensitivity, as (if I'm recalling properly) the flight data recorder showed
that the pilot's rudder pedal input was absurdly small -- like 5 pounds of
pressure (?) -- to get the rudder to swing from lock-to-lock.

Hell, that's way less than what is required in my Pathfinder. Airbus needs
to address that problem. (I would be surprised if they haven't already done
so.)
