Hi! I'm the VP of Engineering at PlanetScale and was at the company when we made this decision.

We had the advantage of being able to decide to do this up front when we were first building the current product. The marginal work for this was nearly zero because we did not have to migrate anything existing, we just decided to address our resources using this strategy. In that way, there was nothing procrastinated -we just decided this was a good idea, and did it.

I can speak from firsthand experience, however, how useful it is to be able to copy/paste links and references to resources. It makes support, collaboration and work much easier when you can easily share links to resources.
