Ugh. Links are meant to live forever.

  Is/ought fallacy. They clearly don't, despite 30+ years of whinging. (I've whinged plenty myself.) Preemptive defence is justified, necessary, and strongly advised. The Web is not an archival platform, it's a publishing one. Each request is served in the moment it's requested, and absent specific measures for persistance can and will vanish at any time without notice.
