No matter — does it require a linking verb?
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}
Though my question is related to this question, it is more direct.
Is the sentence (from a technical book):
The defer statement is used to ensure that the resources are released in all cases, no matter how complex the control flow.
grammatical?
It appears that adding a linking verb like is makes it grammatical:
The defer statement is used to ensure that the resources are released in all cases, no matter how complex the control flow is.
I want to know which is correct.

I'm sorry, this is something that I know intuitively, but I don't know how to justify it formally. If you really want an answer and you haven't gotten one within a few days, you could put a small bounty on the question.
