Seems like it to me.
The rational seems to be that they are indicating that there was just too much inconsistency due to the very subjective nature of upward motion vs. the absoluteness of on/off the floor. Some predicted that, IIRC.
I would hope, however, that they really don't mean "any" movement (other than vertical) makes it a block. I would hope they would allow for a defender to step backwards to soften the impact if they were in position in time.
