Default Letter to the FAA

Any reason why rope-cutting guillotines (like we have in winches) aren't installed in tow planes? Regardless of the design of the hook, surely redundancy (as long as it doesn't increase the risk of an unintended release, which would potentially be more problematic on tow than on the winch).
