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?

Research direction

Start with the css.selectors.any-link compatibility entry and the linked MDN page at files/en-us/web/css/_colon_any-link/index.md. Review how the :any-link note describes privacy and why <link> elements are excluded, then verify the explanation against the relevant browser behavior. Done means the compatibility note no longer uses unexplained wording and accurately documents the reason.
