Yeah, based on all the info we have so far it appears MCAS was the root cause. Mounting bigger engines higher up and forward changed the plane's center of gravity and made it more likely to go too high AoA under acceleration and stall. MCAS was installed to fix that, but was sloppily implemented, misinterpreted AoA sensor data under some conditions, and was not pilot-overide-able.
