It is.
Whenever I use the SysV way on 10.04 (before I broke bash) upstart
responds with something like:
"that's the old way of stopping things, we'll do it for you this time
and here's the new command."
Like I have room in this feeble old brain for new commands...

It's just doing what it's programmed to do... protect clueless users
from themselves.
I recall seeing a new "stop the backend" command while paging through
mythtv-setup... kill mythbackend, or something.
iirc, I tried it and it didn't...
