I don't think zun even cares. The post I think you're referring to was a joke interview published way back on animemaru when it was still around. Add to that the various subtexts (WHH Capter 45 springs to mind first) and that he's drawn ships before on a livestream, I think Zun just doesn't like writing romance or doesn't feel like he's able to write romance. And as the series goes on, I think that he's also not going to do much more than subtext, as he might feel that it diminishes the creative freedoms that come with fanwork creations for the series.
Tldr: It's more or less the same as what we've gotten before, just more explicit this time as both fan culture and culture at large continues to shift from what it was back when the series first started.
