Hi EmilsVFX,
Yes, they do some really nice modifications at the moment.
First we have to wait how far 2.8 really goes. It makes no sense to even start with modifications at this point, since everything can still change. And this means that the core development of Bforartists is currently stopped.
A first incarnation of 2.8 will appear at the Siggraph 2018. And then we will see 
Kind regards
Reiner
