This isn't for your URLs. It's for URLs you're linking to that you don't control and that are liable to change because other people (typically large content sites) don't understand how URLs should work.
- xrstf 11y agoSo how exactly is this supposed to make things better? I want to save, let's say, www.newspaper.com/import-article.html. So I must create a PR, wait for it to be merged so that I get w3id.org/my-project/newspaper-article as a redirect to the URL mentioned earlier. Now what? What if the newspaper.com URL changes? Am I supposed to keep all my URLs up-to-date (i.e. send pull requests every now and then to update my "bookmarks")? web.archive.org seems much more useful, by copying the entire page at the time of creating a snapshot and thereby creating a true, durable copy.
