The Business Bill interface is meant to be used with Accounts Payable.
So, no, posting a Bill to Bank is NOT the normal procedure..  When you're
entering a Bill, you're entering a Liability -- this bill arrived, so I
owe someone money.  Later, when you Process Payment it pays off the Liability
from your Bank account.

As for why it was changed, well, the interface changed because it was
broken (it let you post to non A/P accounts).
