Newspapers change titles and content of existing posts all the time. There are bots that track this (at least for the big ones like NYT [0]). Bloggers can change content/title at any time. There are no web-wide rules that you must mention your changes and provide a log. Yet people still link to blogs and newspaper articles.
There's also already Twitter username change trackers [1] and Twitter deleted post trackers [2].
And maybe even more commonly on Twitter I just see people taking screenshots of tweets.
So I don't see this being much bigger a deal for transparency. There'll just be new systems for tracking edits if archive.org and screenshots aren't good enough.
