description

What information was incorrect, unhelpful, or incomplete?

:any-link privacy: selector does not match <link> elements is in the BCD. If it's important enough for a BCD call out, it should probably be explained (and Safari does not support this feature, so it definitely should be explained)

What did you expect to see?

an explanation of the reason it shouldn't be supported on <link>

Do you have any supporting links, references, or citations?

No response

This was added in https://github.com/mdn/browser-compat-data/pull/9488, but https://github.com/whatwg/html/issues/4831 doesn't mention anything about "privacy". I think this is purely a simplification based on what people expect to happen and isn't actually a privacy concern any more severe than :link itself is.

Pinging @chrisdavidmills and @rachelandrew, perhaps? This is from forever ago though.
