Fuel usage and fuel flow have been set not according to each other and hence the issue.
They (or their engine management supplier) can surely develop a system to coast automatically, but it needs time and this change was proposed by the Aco a few days before Spa. Such a system need to be designed, developed and tested....hence time and money that were not planned initially...hence issues.
To be honest i see their point very well.

Thanks for that!
So not an oversight, nor (in all probability) money, simply that such a system does not, as yet, exist for privateers.
