1: so what? I use this for my blog (cryptologie.net) and this has never been a problem. Search engines handle that quite well.
2: no. The URL is not wrong. Rather it won’t describe the content perfectly anymore. If this is an issue you can attribute a new ID to your page.
3: that’s why you have url shorteners. But what’s wrong with a long url? And how does it complicates sharing it? To share you copy/paste the url. Nothing changed. And now the url describes the content! (That’s the reason we do it.)
4: that’s a good thing!
So yeah. I’ll keep doing this for my blog and I hope websites like SO keep doing that as well
