I think the 7.0 version is more correct, forcing the user to fix the database logic. Is the change expected?

Yes, this was a deliberate change as part of the work which ultimately enabled the link support API and pvaccess links.

As for the specific decision to disallow CP/CPP for output links, I recall that it was discussed. However, I don't recall the details at this point.
