Indeed so.

Of course, one can always quibble about details. The old versions had
named.root and named.cache each describing themselves as such; both
the new ones describe themselves as named.cache.

What really causes me to smirk when I look at these files, though, is
the

  ... reference this file in the "cache  .  <file>" configuration
  file of BIND domain name servers

I suggest a change to

  ... reference this file in the "cache  .  <file>" configuration
  file of BIND 4 domain name servers, and by the way you are out
  of your mind if you are still using BIND 4
