Yes, iPhoto got the message early on and changed the was it stored photos. I don't use Faces or Places. Seldom take pictures of people and don't have GPS in my camera. Found that one can disable placed but so far haven't found a way to stop Faces. iPhoto keeps the Faces wheel spinning even though there are no photos with people.
Today I transferred 40GB of photos from my PhotoSafe (external HD) and SD cards. Now I need to figure out where I want to put them. Actually right now they are on my desktop, not even on my HD. Then I've got to see if I can find photos in my backup of Pictures.
