A link to any external site is to something that _someone_ could change,
at any time, to anything.  I don't see how replacing 'someone' with
'anyone' makes a significant difference here, rather to the contrary
since it means you or anyone inclined can improve it to restore its
usefulness.

External references always comes with the price of creating obsolete or
incorrect links.
