Coal should have a small constant spawn rate from bedrock all the way to the height limit, in addition to the current falloff about y=64. The new caverns require a crazy amount of torches to light up and there is almost no way to get more coal for torches when below y=0. Rather than adding strategy to mining it just makes it so that you have to make many pointless trips back to the surface to actually find coal. With the old ore distribution, if you ran out of torches in a cave you could just find some and mine it, which is significantly more convenient and fun than returning to the surface before your inventory is full.
