Maybe they should publish the mapping of shortened url -> target page, for at least not losing all access to the legacy links

They could publish it with public key encryption, so you can verify existing links without seeing all the links

Sure, but it seems solve-able (even decoding urls one by one with captcha is better than nothing)
