Yeah, that's a MAJOR consideration for MANY use cases. Be aware, folks!

It's a problem I didn't face in either of the massive migrations. In the bigger one a quick poll of active users suggested they didn't have such links, or if they did they'd do a search anyway. In the latter case the same archiver is still in use.
