 The links table has a column called `link_updated` which used to be used
 to store the date the link last changed (using pingomatic to check for
 this).

 The link update checking was removed from core some time ago, see #12437,
 [13744] (also #4230, #4231). However there's still some code in `wp-
 admin/bookmark.php` and `wp-admin/bookmark-template.php` which uses
 `link_updated` as well as the `links_recently_updated_time` option. I
 guess the column in the database can't just be dropped because of back
 compat. But the code that uses it in core looks like it can.
