You have a good point.

I worked on a webiste called the Tour of DC and a one point we decided to
change ISP's. People that linked to us without notifying us ended up with
dead links because our address had changed. We could have notified them if
we knew they were linking to us.

I don't object to links to my sites, but here's the catch. It is much
better if people ask, because I can tell them exactly what pages to
link to, so they will not have bad links. Some pages will change,
some don't. If people ask (or notify me), I get a chance to help them
eliminate potential bad links.
