Yes. Tomasz apparently felt guilty about violating his own SSSO principle. In theory, it could be severely misused, and I think he always wanted to avoid cmdline hell like TASM had (e.g. being unable to rebuild a project without the exact same cmdline switches, very arcane). Also, he mentioned he may provide some external emulation tool for vid, etc. to use. Anyways, personally, I think he wanted to save some more room to put back the flat real hack (which he likes a lot).

You don't really need -d, but it was useful if you'd rather define stuff on cmdline instead of editing (manually or automatically) your sources. It was only when vid showed Tomasz some really complex real-world project examples that he ever decided -d was worthwhile anyways (1.67.24).
