The root of the problem is Wikipedia not having local snapshots leaves their articles vulnerable to eroding sources.
Is it reasonable for them to keep their own local snapshots?
That's not a trivial amount of work and data, particularly it it's multimedia.
I think it's a concerning issue affecting long-term viability of the platform. It'll only get worse as time goes on and sources go offline.
