That is the problem.  We absolutely do not want links to things
like pastebin.  We want the code here, as part of the text.  5 years
from now, when other people are scratching their heads saying,
I wonder why Guido decided things the way he did, and whether that
decision can and should be revisited, the first thing we will do is
to go back and read all this discussion.  And if the discussion is
about code we can no longer see, because the pastebin has expired,
then we won't be able to learn much.

Anything that matters needs to be part of the archived discussion.
