As far as I understand from [this article](https://medium.com/@typefacts/the-german-capital-letter-eszett-e0936c1388f8), the optional use of the ‘capital sharp s’ is now officially a part of german spelling rules. Would it then be appropriate to update the [lovely tutorial](https://glyphsapp.com/tutorials/localize-your-font-german-capital-sharp-s) on exactly this topic to reflect the development?

Yes, will have to change the orthography explanation. The rest, and all the technical stuff, still is valid though.
