In this case anyone can Q&A and ask specifically if quick exhaust valves are considered check valves by the GDC. I believe that they are and have been instructed to enforce it in that manner, if I was using one on my robot I'd probably ask in the Q&A just to be sure and have proof in case another RI or LRI doesn't see it the same way.

Q&A has consistently refused to rule a part legal unless it's recommended or mandated. You'll probably have better luck if you word the question to ask if the function of the part is consistent with a short list of rules, with reference to your part as an example of one that performs the function.
