Yes, that's still the case if time permits it!
As the new tutorial will be a ~90% line-change I suggest to apply the
current patch first to still have better docs in case I'm not able to
finish the rewrite (refactor? ;-) until 5.18.0 gets released.
If you agree I'll try to send patch version #2 with Vadim's suggestions in
the next few days.
