Generally, the CFA on older cameras were stronger than the ones today because consumers value hi-iso more than better colour these days. Weaker CFA let in more light to the sensor for better hi-iso ratings.

I don't quite agree with you. Consumers are LED to believe that low noise at hi iso settings are more important than color reproduction. Reviewers on sites like DPR, don't really care about parameters which are hard to measure, such as 'color reproduction' under a variety of conditions.

Noise is probably the one parameter that is most easy to measure and that's one of the reasons why (first and foremost) DPR have grossely mislead its readers to belive that noise is the one and only parameter that determine how good a camera is.

Yes, the CFA in front of the sensor have become 'weaker' by the years. That's the reason why i use Pentax K200D (very sensitive CFA  in front of a CCD sensor) and the Canon 5d (first version) for 95% of my photography.
