No, I just hacked (summarized from the old thread)

  (add-hook 'org-export-before-processing-hook
            #'f-ox-filter-table-column-del)
  (defun f-ox-filter-table-column-del (back-end)
    (while (re-search-forward "^[ \t]*|\\(.*|\\)? *\\(<#>\\) *|" nil t)
      (goto-char (match-beginning 2))
      (org-table-delete-column)
      (beginning-of-line)))

in my config file to use with | <#> |. For all the tasks discussed in
the old thread I did not more than discuss. From my side there exists
nothing that can be made ready to be committed.
