Odd? It's an improvement that makes it easier to work. I'm surprised it took this long, but not that they did it.
They also swapped the function of X and 'C' (previously Y) so that X now does the X axis, and C now does the Y axis. Before X did Y axis, and Y did X axis for some silly reason. It takes a bit of getting used to, but it really is better. Now all 3 transform keys are right there.
