This is not an update to BIP 142, correct?

Please add a brief section on backward compatibility.

It includes the following text under Compatibility:

Only new software will be able to use these addresses,
and only for receivers with segwit-enabled new software.
In all other cases, P2SH or P2PKH addresses can be used.

This is not an update to BIP 142, correct?

It is intended to replace BIP 142.
