When the next official update is released, as stated by Times in the comments section, this unofficial patch will be integrated to that update. Beyond its release, you will no longer need to download this pack to access its changes.
We do have plans and progress on the second unofficial patch, which intends to provide additional changes and content for the upcoming update, so keep your eyes peeled.
