Yes. It's a conscious decision by the developers and community to get rid of some of the crud and old design decisions that have crept into the language over the last 10+ years. The intent is to keep the incompatibilities to a minimum, but subject to the larger goal of producing a cleaner/better language unhindered by the need of absolute compatibility.
