Slider design - RXO connection requirement?

Part Number: MSP430FR2672

Information I refer to is here: 

http://software-dl.ti.com/msp430/msp430_public_sw/mcu/msp430/CapTIvate_Design_Center/latest/exports/docs/users_guide/html/CapTIvate_Technology_Guide_html/markdown/ch_design_guide.html#designing-a-self-capacitive-slider

I am designing a self capacitive touch slider. The information says "Self and mutual sliders require their RX0 electrode on both ends of the slider be electrically connected on the PCB layout. This is required for the default sensor algorithm to work properly."

"As alternative sensor processing algorithms are developed by TI, slider designs will be possible without this requirement."

Is this still a requirement? I am thinking of using MSP430FR2672
