Dpaste currently does not expire pastes by default. I was

I'm not sure what's the way to do it - probably linking the
newly-generated paste URLs from a page that the Wayback Machine
already knows of.
I just saved this by hand: http://dpaste.dzfl.pl/2012caf872ec
(when the WM does not see a link that is search for, it offers
the option to archive it) obtaining
https://web.archive.org/web/20160207215546/http://dpaste.dzfl.pl/2012caf872ec.
Thoughts?

I'm not sure if the wayback machine should be used for version
control, if you want to keep a history of your past I suggest
using a gist.github.com.
I view the wayback machine as a view for what the web used to
look like not necessarily what information was in it.
