Nope, it's a new feature.

From the techcrunch article - "Berlin-based maps and navigation app maker Skobbler, which has its own map engine and combines it with OpenStreetMap (OSM) data to power a range of mapping apps, has updated its iOS global maps app, ForeverMap 2, to add a travel guide with popular location information to further expand the offering. As with the crowd-created OSM data, which Skobbler uses to power its entire range of mapping and sat-nav apps, the travel guide data is crowdsourced — powered by Wikitravel."

Hello all

Just seen that Skobbler, a great map app that uses OpenStreetMap is starting to use Wikitravel over Wikivoyage for their travel guides in the app, is anybody aware as to why they would do this?
