If you had read the new FAA Re-authorization Act you would see where the FAA has been charged with producing over time a number of things with regard to sUAS. While the new act did officially revoke section 336, the new rules I expect will make that functionally true.
And the AMA with it's efforts to leverage the law to require mandatory CBO membership (with the AMA being the only CBO) seems to have fallen by the way side. So everyone will be flying under the same rules. What a concept!
