NOT the same, Canon EOS mount has very notable features that the old FD mount could never overcome most notably the much larger mount diameter. So in that case there was something gained there too. this is not the case with Pentax K/M abandonment. There is no new mount or feature gained, just ignoring of old lenses basic features on purpose... jco
