That's a limitation of the way source services are implemented
currently. Source services run on the commited files. Unlike
branches with contain the complete filelist, links just contain
the _link element and some patches. That's not enough to run
a source service, so they are forbidden for links.

This limitation existed since source services were added, it
has nothing to do with the recent change.

Cheers,
