Will the option to add external servers be readded?

I already posted this question in the playfab-slack some days ago but got no answer there.
The legacy matchmaking system apparently supports external server. Is this planned to be a feature again with the current matchmaking system?

The new matchmaking system can work independently. Basically you will need an external agent server, which will handle the matchmaking tickets and request server instances from your external multiplayer server service. We have developers in the community implement SignalR to handle multiplayer.

If you mean to use PlayFab API (matchmaking related) to fully control the external custom servers, currently there aren’t any news or updates on it. Please feel free to send a thread on the Feature Request forum.
