Yes, a manner that is non configurable, and takes away the keypresses people have been using for nearly two decades for no benefit to them. They don't realize it until repeatedly hitting a "I could save that file with this dialog, but I won't do that anymore." modal dialog that's akin to plastering a big 'PUSH' sign above a handle designed for pulling. Yes the change was long planned. And I have only so much right to complain--- I'm a coder, I can rip this 'feature' out of my own copy (and post .debs/.prms for others) anytime I want. Hooray for source :-) So please, take this as a well intentioned comment that simply tries to make the discontent clear. I very much dislike the change and many months on I still hit that 'HA HA! NO!' dialog regularly. The rationale behind the change has the best of intentions, but in the real world, it's merely dripping dogma onto my workflow. Perhaps GNUClippy should pop up to say "I see you're stuck in your old habits..." Anyway, no sense going around in circles, I've said my piece. Any further commentary will come through github (yeah... not actually likely).
