Description
The links generated by the website, e.g. this, are not stable. Updates to the mathgen code, or in principle to Perl's RNG, may result in the same link producing a different paper in the future.
In principle I never claimed they were stable, but some people are probably treating them as such: posting the link somewhere else and writing "hey check out this funny paper, where it says [specific phrase]". The future paper should result in the same author, but may have different text, without the [specific phrase] and leading to confusion.
The website code could also change, causing those links to not work at all.
I'm inclined to call this wontfix, but will leave it open for now to think about it some more.
