I disagree. Modern refers to using the learnings and improvements that have been made over the last few decades of designing CPUs. To me including 2 features doesn't necessarily make a design modern.

My point is to separate the absolute toys (CPUs which are on a level with the 6502) from the somewhat more complicated designs that can be used to demonstrate fundamental concepts beyond just decoding and executing instructions.
