Yes - because he brought it straight from storage and where the assemblers work. However I have no clue of a phase-out process, status, plans to do it etc. I should have asked but did not. They might not segregate stock at all and let it fly but I really don't know.
My personal opinion of the tape is it is practical and the material is much softer but I see a dog bone. I thought if they removed the edge bone look and just made it straight like a bow-tie would be better. These look die cut so it is as easy as making a new die...cheap to do.
