What if a link is removed and then re-added? Should it go back to that
link? That would require keeping statistics per link rather than
accumulating removed.

When a link is removed, its corresponding data will be set to NULL. If it reconnects, its statistics will start from zero. The link might not reconnect to the same link again. Therefore, retaining data for a removed link per link may not be useful, as the link is being removed and connected. It's better to start with zero rather than using previous data.

Also, if really link level storing of stats is required will add it, but currently I am not seeing it much useful here.
