Hi Samuel,

yes, I read the thread.  I understand your position and that of Allen,
and there is absolutely no rush about this change.

But the fact that the Global Mark Ring does not fit several uses is
not a reason for not moving forward - I like the idea of a "link ring"
and I think we can implement it.

Yes: I'm wondering what precise use-case of `org-mark-push-ring' is
not covered by either the emacs local mark ring or global one?

Also, xref calls it a "stack", which I find more intuitive.

If xref implements what users expect from a global ring, then
let's fix the global ring that way.  And make "link rings" based
on a more generic global ring.

In any case, there is no rush, but I think the effort is worth it.

Best,
