Yes, that's what Internet engineers like me thought
but in the real world, a lipo B44 and a NIMH MiD44 are two very different beasts.
The NIMH MiD44 is much heavier (by 200g), its weight is more spread front-to-rear (a bit like an Atomized B44), where the lipo B44 is lighter, with very centralised weight (much like X-5s). The MiD also has thinner upper decks, it is less rigid.
The "Squad" (Oliv996 and some friends) kind of failed to make a MiD44 lipo-friendly without adding weight. Oliv, Antoine Rossetti and Predatom are now back to old-school XX-4, I use a B44 with lipos and some weight under cells.
