There's other evidence of some carelessness here, too. 97.221 defines
segments where automatically controlled digital stations may operate.
The R & O did not amend these, but the segment for 80m is defined as
3620-3635 kHz -- frequencies that would be illegal for Digital
communications after the R & O goes into effect.
Frankly, I'm more inclined that the FCC just make all the bands like
160m -- where every mode is legal everywhere. Of course, there would
probably be a handful of hams that would misuse such privileges and
make things miserable for us all....
