It's basically an issue with the villians not lasting more than an arc, but heroes persiting throughout the series. But, I agree with you that some villian links like Big Bad Bosses could be better.

As far as the patch notes, I concur that "new skills" is probably referring to SS4s. Unique passives require special game logic to operate, especially when extra animations and such are required. New link skills or link skill erratas probably wouldn't need a major update, unless it was a whole new mechanic like changing the type of the card based on who it links with (that'd be awesome Bamco, btw). Most link skills are just stat boosts, which is just changing a number here or there.

But I do agree they should have left it out of the notes, especially if it was just backend logic for new passives. Only put forward-facing stuff the user can see in patch notes. The only Extreme teams I would say have real linking issues are TEQ and INT
