Ethiopian crew followed procedures – first official crash report

Extract from the Ethiopian Airlines press release:

"The preliminary report clearly showed that the Ethiopian Airlines Pilots who were commanding FlightET 302/10 March have followed the Boeing recommended and FAA approved emergency procedures to handle the most difficult emergency situation created on the airplane. Despite their hard work and full compliance with the emergency procedures, it was very unfortunate that they could not recover the airplane from the persistence of nose diving. As the investigation continues with more detailed analysis, as usual we will continue with our full cooperation with the investigation team."

Not yet clear if this report will be released publicly. Nor whether MCAS was manually disabled (by circuit breaker or other permanent means) or temporarily by flight inputs (I'm basing this off what I've read here previously). Sounds like the former.

I wonder if there is any risk of having Boeing forced to retire the Max model(i.e declare the design flawed)
