Oh, didn't want to imply that it was - rather than whenever you need a
URL that still should point to something useful in two or more years.
When the link is put into some "real world" stuff that you cannot
change afterwards (like a released version of LibreOffice - you cannot
change LO that was already installed by the user, and you cannot
change printed copies of flyers or books....)

Exactly. I don't know where you got the idea that I'd think it matters
more for QR-Codes, but I'm glad that you share my actual point :-)

Yes :-)

Yes, I'd love to see a QR-Code on every LO booth - some might say
"Welcome dear visitor, thanks for taking time to scan this code, what
about talking to our staff - when you say "<codeword>" you'll get a
cookie" :-D

Yes, please :-) you can then use it like
hub.libreoffice.org/donate?event=whatever or similar to make use of it
for specific campaigns/events.
