Absolutely. So much I started a reddit thread about it to try and figure out what has changed. Sadly, no one actually knew an answer and my own research didn't come up with anything useful, except the strong suspicion, that Apple has changed something deeper down in the system. Parameter values in .GlobalPreferencesPlist (especially for com.apple.trackpad.scrolling) have not changed before and after the update.
For now, I've put my trackpad scrolling speed to the second highest settings but ideally, I would love to have the behavior pre-patch back. Maybe we'll figure something out in this community :)
