I would prefer not to, mainly because then it's still something we
need to carry around for eternity.
Pastebins are generally regarded as transient / temporary, so
depending on the settings specified by the users the pastes in
question are likely already gone.

(For the bugs, I just picked one at random from the list -
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=353983 - and all four pastes
referred to there are already dead)
