... And don't use GitHub Pages, GitLab Pages, or otherwise rely on permanent URLs on domains in .io... Sure, but who are those?

  Well, if domain names change, then those people will have to change configurations. But is that actually a huge problem? If so, then it would be a good opportunity to fix things so changing in the future is easier. Domain names do change sometimes, after all.

    Cool URIs don't change https://www.w3.org/Provider/Style/URI https://www.w3.org/Provider/Style/URI This will cause a massive amount of links to go dead on the web and that's a fact. It will definitely not only affect people who hold .io domains.

      > Cool URIs don't change That's talking about the portion of URIs after the domain name. In reality, domain names themselves do change from time to time and it's wise to be able to accommodate that. A cool URI makes that change easier for the provider because it means the only part of the URI that would have to change is the domain name. The rest can remain the same as always. > This will cause a massive amount of links to go dead on the web and that's a fact. Well, sure, and the maintainer of those links need to change them. I'm not seeing how this is a major crisis. Link go dead all the time. It would be an annoyance, certainly.
