Should downvotes on questions be “free”?

I just downvoted a question on Stack Overflow. I don't do this very often so I wonder if there was any change in downvoting mechanism because I didn't receive -1 reputation penalty.

    just like on all stackexchange sites, duplicates are okay as long as they're identified as duplicates and point to the question they duplicate. It helps people who may be posting a similar question find the question from your keywords, ditto for search.

Down-votes on questions are now "free", i.e. they don't cost 1 reputation from you any longer. Down-votes on answers still cost the same as before. See Should downvotes on questions be "free"? for the discussion.
