Its still in most FCOM's although not followed in many companies, especially in Asia due to the risk of damage to the wing (some companies won't refuel you) on the ground plus the rudder travel limiter wear if you do a re align with Conf 1+F, thus many operators decided to scrap it.
My previous company was following that procedure up until a few months ago, where they changed it to retract in all cases, after a email from Airbus saying it was confined mainly to Middle East operators.
