Resolved Deprecation of Let's Encrypt Extension

According to changelog and some announcements, the support for the Let's Encrypt Extension is going to be droppend and replaced by the SSLIt! Extension.

Does anybody know if the SSLIt!-Extension is going to respect the panel.ini settings, which were set for the Let's Encrypt Extension in the past?
I'm thinking especially about the following settings:

INI:
[ext-letsencrypt]
use-common-challenge-dir = false 
send-notifications-interval = 7 days
allow-wildcard-certificates = false
letsencrypt-url = https://letsencrypt.org/de/
terms-url = https://letsencrypt.org/de/repository/
letsencrypt-docs-rate-limits-url = https://letsencrypt.org/de/docs/rate-limits/

If not, what are the respective options for the new extension?
The most important setting for us is the "allow-wildcard-certificates = false", to disable wildcard certificates, which can only be issued by DNS-validiation.
 
Let's Encrypt will continue to work as a plugin. Some specific options related to Let's Encrypt will continue to work in [ext-letsencrypt] section.
Code:
[ext-letsencrypt]
allow-wildcard-certificates = false
letsencrypt-url = https://letsencrypt.org/de/
terms-url = https://letsencrypt.org/de/repository/
letsencrypt-docs-rate-limits-url = https://letsencrypt.org/de/docs/rate-limits/
will continue to work in LE.
allow-wildcard-certificates totally hide wildcard from the LE and SslIt UI (it disables wildcard support in product)
Code:
send-notifications-interval = 7 days
Also will continue to work, but it is better to specify it in SSLit section.
Code:
use-common-challenge-dir = false
in this case, CCD will not be enabled in SslIt on installation.
