Default Bananas, should we be worried?

With the news that our eating bananas (Cavendish strain) are under real
threat in various ways, see

http://news.bbc.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/2664373.stm

should we be worried about the continued health of our ornamental varieties
or are they resistant to blight etc ?
Don't want to lose our Musa lasiocarpa just yet.
