LinkCache queries can most certainly be rolled up into the same query. $wgLinkCacheMemcached was a failed experiment which should not be used by anyone, and certainly isn't used by us. It can be removed at any time.
But LinkCache caches by means other than memcached. It also uses a member variable cache. So it would still mean extra queries. Of course, if it caches the links' existence, maybe it could cache their color too . . .
