What is/are your question(s)?

I have plans to add new feature - nothing sophisticated - just few control buttons on player screen that can be enabled / disabled in settings. But in file CONTRIBUTING.md there's info "Please do not open pull requests for new features now, as we are planning to rewrite large chunks of the code. Only bugfix PRs will be accepted. More details will be announced soon!" added pretty long time ago. Is that still valid that PR for new features won't be accepted ?
