They have addressed the small problem with aluminium nipples (although if you have a decent spoke key and are not completely ham-fisted, it really is a tiny problem) but not the big one - seizing and stress corrosion cracking when used in wet conditions. $30 for 50 nipples and a key doesn't seem like much of a bargain either.
