I do. So what?

Whenever you see one of his posts you can't be sure if the URL you find
still exists or not since you don't know, if this is the latest post or
not without subscribing the newsgroup, fetching all posts and searching
for the latest one.

This point would make much more sense, if there was a periodical posting
with the subject "FAQ of comp.lang.javascript" with a pointer to the
current URL of the FAQ of this newsgroup.

However - URLs should not become invalid or disappear anyway:

<https://www.w3.org/Provider/Style/URI>

So if Thomas Lahn mentions <http://pointedears.de/faq> as the URL of the
FAQ for comp.lang.javascript, this URL should not change.

If Thomas Lahn ever decides not to maintain his FAQ any longer I'm sure
he will either set up a redirection to the new location or add an
appropriate note about this in the existing document.

It would also be a good idea, if <http://jibbering.com/faq/> would
contain a pointer to <http://pointedears.de/faq>. I just sent an e-mail
to Garret - maybe he will add this to his FAQ.
