Same old, same old. Nothing new at all but the terminology. But hey, if someone feels they've discovered the latest and greatest advance in officiating knowledge, who am I to spoil their party? Let 'em RSBQ away to their heart's content.
If it better describes the desired way in which the calls should be made, then it is not "Same old, same old". And in my opinion, it describes a much more clear set of criteria to determine if a foul has been committed than the very generic A/D. A/D is open to a much wider range of interpretation than RSBQ. RSBQ actually defines what constitutes A/D.
