UML14 — Large diamond for binary associations legal? - UML2 Superstructure issue

Reviewing the current Superstructure spec I noticed that it allows the
usage of the large diamond in the middle of an association also for
binary associations which significantly changes to notation compared
to
UML 1.x

By doing so UML class diagrams become Entity-Relationship flavoured
but
do not have the semantics of those notation (identity, multiplicities,
etc.) and also the notation is still different (multiplicity,
association name, etc.).

Is it really intended to allow the usage of the large diamond also for
binary associations?

Personally, I'm quite reluctant accepting these change ...
