No, but note the various tutorials available on rendering radiosity 
scenes in two passes are likely no more valid when some more elementary 
changes have been made to radiosity.  The radiosity patches in MegaPOV 
1.2 for example can already quite significantly affect the handling of 
radiosity when used.

Note i no way want to discourage writing something about using radiosity 
- although some of the things written are not completely correct or even 
misleading most can be helpful and changes going to be made in the 
radiosity feature are most likely going to happen over a larger period 
of time so there is no point waiting for a specific change before 
starting to write a tutorial.
