And it seems to overlook a pretty straightforward question: in the era of the search engine, how much of an issue is link rot?
I've hit bad links before. Four out of five times, I can do a general search for the title of the document that should have been at the link or the quoted excerpt that the document I'm reading pulled from the link, and I get a clone of the document posted somewhere else.
