Can't we replace such links with links to web.archive.org then?
Adding a link to web.archive.org is appropriate and desirable but replacement destroys the link to the original source, which will be needed if/when web.archive.org dies.
Doesn't a web.archive.org link contain within it the URL of the original source?
If the site is dead, and there is no archive of it on the internet archive (or anywhere else presumably), why would you want the link anyway?

You might want it in case the site comes back up (as has been known to happen).
