This scenario brought up many discussions when we saw that feature for the first time on the foamy jets at a jet rally a year or two ago. I believe Gaspar was asked if he was going to incorporate this feature into his ECU/turbines and his reply was "no" for safety reasons. The reality is that it could save your plane or cause more devastation on the ground as a deadstick crash may not even have a fire whereas a restart a few hundred feet up can cause a totally uncontrollable fireball that's falling out of the sky.
