I seriously doubt they will take away this ability as it will shut up many of the vocal people who want the Rex hold and live in the non CARB states. Having said that, however it will be the people in California who abuse this feature where it is a legal issue with the CARB rules. If a bunch of people start being found doing it in CARB states then maybe it might become an issue, then again just fine those who are breaking the law.
