Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 • Seeking clarity on KB4091

Hello Veeam folks! In KB4091 (https://www.veeam.com/kb4091), the October 2024 update mentions:

Update October 2024: Microsoft is rolling out a change that will make it possible to back up SharePoint Web Parts without needing to modify export mode settings. An upcoming build of Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 version 8 will automatically honor this for updated M365 tenants. In the future, the Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 setting to enable export mode for SharePoint Web Parts will be deprecated.

I'm looking for a couple clarifications (and for that KB to be updated with new information, if any exists):

1.) Where did Microsoft post this message about making this change to SharePoint for Web Parts backups? Is it MC911622 (https://mc.merill.net/message/MC911622)? If so, can this be included in the KB?
2.) I haven't seen Web Parts mentioned in any of the VBM365 updates that have occurred since MC911622, is the fix mentioned in the KB still upcoming?

Thank you in advance.
