That's what I'm seeing, too. The control link used to be required. I'm thinking it got axed from Part 97 - perhaps around the same time that the rule that repeaters must discontinue transmitting within FIVE SECONDS of the input going inactive was removed.
I believe the prohibition on the list is debating Part 97. I'm simply asking where something is in Part 97, or if it was removed (which seems to be the case). If this is true, there may be a lot of repeater trustees who can save money from expensive phone line charges that are no longer required, so this potentially affects everyone on the list.
