I think there's a non-zero chance that the 737 MAX is going to end up with a type certificate. MCAS causes the MAX to behave differently than an NG, whether it's working as designed or not. And also that it can be disabled, immediately means the airplane isn't airworthy as certified and without a type rating the pilot isn't either. Before this article I would have said, approaches zero chance a type certificate would be required. But the idea it would take 6-8 months to get it flying again? That's so outside the realm of what I was expecting that there must be some talk about it.
