5E inspired by B/X 1981?

Some interesting posts from Mearls on Facebook, seems to be the case: http://beyondtheblackgate.blogspot.com/2015/04/the-old-school-roots-of-d-5e.html?m=1

Thoughts?

As I recall, the devs have explicitly stated that 5E was meant to be a synthesis of features from all past editions, so I'd say yes. I expect that to some degree every edition has been inspired by the originals.
