O.k., so what is it that you contend would have happen if I hadn't
checked in as requested? Nothing? He just asked me to do it to
see if I would?


The controller that told you to notify Center on the rollout did so
completely on his own. He wasn't following any established national policy
or procedure. To find out what would have happened if you didn't check in
you'd have to ask him.
