On our repeaters here in Dist 1 in Michigan we are using a script that allows us to link and or unlink any time we want. After there is no traffic for 10 min. the script will re-link the repeater to your default reflector link.

All the repeaters I have access to in the San Francisco Bay Area allow that. I typically do linking from a module that normally is not linked, and I unlink afterwards. We all try to leave it in the state we found it. Works for our community out here, anyway.

We do not park the repeater on ANY reflector. Our policy allows open linking. I know, it's strange to let the user actually decide. As hardly any repeaters allow this, I can understand your assumption. It's much easier to just write a cron job to link/unlink every few hours. Please be assured that all other reflectors work just fine for us.
