Looking at some recent failures of the changelog workflow on PRs: https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-operator/actions/workflows/changelog.yaml, I noticed the link check doesn't do anything useful. The changelog tool's preview command actually outputs the new changelog segment to stderr (and not stdout as the docs claim), so we're running markdown-link-check on some random chloggen output.
Furthermore, it doesn't even make sense to check this - what we should do instead is check changelog links during releases, or check links in all of our docs at different points. For now, I'm removing the blocker.
