And unnecessary.  ;)  As long as the fans provide at
LEAST enough airflow to remove heat from the system,
the thermostat will keep the coolant temperature in
the engine fairly constant.  It's only when there is
not enough fan capacity, and the coolant temperature
keeps going up once the thermostat is open, that there
should be a problem.

That's the whole purpose of a thermostat; to prevent overcooling.
