[dmitshur] But with github.com profile pages specifically, I can't help but think that a URL like https://github.com/aaronpk isn't permanent, it changes when the GitHub user renames their github account. On the other hand, a URL like https://api.github.com/user/113001 doesn't change when the GitHub user renames their account. But that page may change if GitHub changes their API endpoints. It's also subject to rate limits, and can't host rel=me links,
