Not really true, Expedition 35 definite took a couple of days to get to the ISS.(as per Commander Chris Hadfield's book.)

Soyuz has been using the short ascent only in the past few years. The Progress shuttle has been doing it longer.

When Hadfield went up, they were still using the older long procedure.

He went up on 13 March 2013, so obviously not all the missions in the last few years.
