ISN'T "removing it from being required"  They are dropping the testing
requirement.  The requirement for code/data only band segments remain. The
requirement for having the appropriate license for those segments remain.

much needed for some weak signal qso's particularly on VHF and UHF.  (like
aurora)  the need for it to be competitive in contesting will drive some to
learn the code and become proficient in its use
