No. They rewrote the whole thing (minus the deskbar/launcher). If it looks to you that they're just keeping the old system stable, that'd mean haiku has been very successful in recreating it as open source.
They're close to 1.0beta1, which is defined as feature-complete for 1.0. It's after they do get 1.0 that they plan on really taking the system's design forward.
Not that it doesn't already have a few fundamental improvements, such as the integrated kernel debugger, the support for newer architectures or the package manager.
