Retired batter running as if it was D3K (ASA)

ASA changed the wording slightly of 8-7-N (I think "N"... don't have a book with me at the moment; it's the rule regarding a retired/scored runner continuing to run & drawing a throw, etc.) to say that the rule does not apply to a batter "entitled" to run on a D3K (to which I say, "Duh"... since such a batter is now a BR and is NOT retired, but that is not my point of the question)... it used to say merely that it did not apply to a runner running on the D3K rule.

So, now we have the word "entitled" in there (added last year? year before? I forget.)

Is this a change in interpretation?

If a batter strikes out and just takes off for 1B and F2 throws to F3, allowing R1 to steal a base, this was always DMC, and not ruled as interference.

Is it now interference?
