I thought FADEC was simpler. :-)

I believe that there are presently FADEC systems offered with one-peice
props (such as the Liberty) and with constant speed props controlled by the
FADEC (such as the Cirrus). Presuming that the announcement, which I have
not read, pertained only to FADECS controlling constant speed props; I
believe that it would really only be a clorification rather than a change.
