I'm calling Bullshit on that. They said the exact same thing for the v2 -> v3 transition of VLC.
And then completely broke playback of my music collection, because the containing folders had square brackets in their name. eg "[2015]" or "[FLAC]"
VLC 2 worked fine with those folders. VLC 3 refuses to recognise music files in those folders. Because square bracket characters "aren't valid URL characters".
We're talking about folder names, not friggin URLs.
That doesn't mean good. I think it is still possible to rate your own songs on iOS but there are so many hoops to jump that this is effectively a deprecated feature. He explicitly said it doesn't mean you will be able to reach these features easily.

That was a regression right there, but they just ignored the problem and refused to fix it.
Grrrr.
