What happened to the "quick app switch" gesture in Sailfish OS 3?

In the Sailfish OS 3 prototype shown on MWC 2018, a new gesture was included that allowed switching directly back-and-forth between apps with the normal horizontal edge swipe gesture, if that swipe was only 1/3rd of the screen wide.
The recent Sailfish OS 3.0.0.5 though doesn't include this gesture. What happened to it, did it fall through the user tests for being too confusing? Or is it still coming in a later version?

I must say I really liked that gesture.
