Interesting, but it's always been this way. I think sometimes it's more a matter of trying to hold up your own end (things like sitemap.xml on a site), and setting expectations that it's all pretty ephemeral.
I subscribe to the Pinboard.in bookmarking service, and it includes archiving of bookmarked pages. An interesting aspect of this is that it also provides a list of non-OK error responses found, and which pages returned that. So you can go in, try to fix them with updated versions, or just understand that that old link is now kaput.

Hope the above link will still work for a while!... ;)
