It would be cool to see this fixed, if true, but I don't have an opinion on this yet.
But this unpredictable explosion makes it hard to survive in a jet if the engine catches on fire. At least a slower burn would give you a chance to get back over to the friendly lines in some cases. Now you have to bail out.
