No, this is not the case (I am looking at devel from 0828).
The exec bits are still not set.

Also, something I've been meaning to mention for a while but keep
forgetting is that many many files are mode 666, 664, 777, etc.
This is a major pain because I let other people log into my machine,
so I have to fix this every time.  This is especially bad for source
that I routinely compile and execute as root.
