Have noticed that too. And I think that may be what it is. But IMO there's really no more confusion than there being L/R runways. I mean, if a pilot can't manage a L/C/R runway combo, they shouldn't be holding a license. So I'm not sure why the FAA would do this, but I do agree that it is the way they seem to be going.

Seems to me its more clear to have the runways marked L/C/R than to give them slightly different numbers. "So, is Rwy 26 to the left or right of Rwy 27??"
