ReCAPTCHA just got easier (but only if you’re human) (googleonlinesecurity.blogspot.com)

I was surprised to read that this is focusing primarily on numbers; I thought one of the values of ReCaptcha was to help improve OCR and deal with difficult-to-digitize text. I realize that house numbers also need digitization for google maps, but I wonder if this points out that the OCR goal wasn't being reached the way they wanted it, or if there is some other way they will approach it...
