Yes, that seems to be the case. Rather curiously though, Panaracer's website still has them listed as separate models. Also, I just tried a set of Specialized Roubaix Pro tires I had sitting around to check clearance. They're labelled and marketed as "25/28" tires, meaning they have the width of a 25c tire (runs true to size, tested on the Weinmann rims) and the height of a 28c tire. I had 2.5mm of clearance per side at the chainstays and plenty everywhere else. I tested with 2 US pennies, which is equal to 2.5mm.
