are you saying that we keep the same functionality but limit it to links?

i thought we discussed that in detail.

imo stack or tree [have you ever tried undo-tree's graphical tree?]
make more sense than ring.

do you mean fix emacs global mark ring? sounds good, but [politics,
new version does not come out until years later].
probably org should keep its own until emacs has had it fixed for a
few major versions, so fewer people need to install emacs just to get
the org version to work properly. debian oldstable currently uses
emacs 24.4.1.
i'd want the local mark ring to allow double marking the same location.
if there are people who don't want to fix emacs, then there could be a
new, generic, improved global and local mark stack or tree as a
package.
