I read the CAIB report several times. After "eliminate shedding
from ET", the No. 2 recommendation was to increase the shuttle's
ability to sustain debris damage. One of the long-term goals
was to increase the orbiter's ability to re-enter Earth's
atmosphere even with minor damage. The photos show that neither
of these "toughen up the orbiter" recommendations have been
addressed.
