well now there does not appear to be a situation where subscriber stations can 
really hurt anything.  Now 
let me point out a case where you might want to allow users to link and unlink. 
 As the system is 
currently constructed,  For blind users, there is no obvious indication that 
zone calls or callsign routes 
are making it to their intended destination let alone the intended recipient.  
On the other hand if I use 
the link, I know my call is going to make it where I want it to go E.G W7MOT.  
Now, in order to get my 
admins to agree to allow my subscriber station to establish links, I had to 
agree to put the node in a 
known state at the end of my session  There are cases where a need can be 
demonstrated for users to be 
able to control the link functions of a gateway.  Sorry for the waffle folks 
just offering food for 
thought.
