There have also been changes in the other direction.  For example,

http://www.elsevier.com/about/open-access/open-archives

lists 97 Elsevier journals in which older articles (typically more than 48 
months old) are open access and could usefully have references in OEIS 
turned into links.  There are plenty of other journals where old 
references could usefully be turned into links as well (Mathematics of 
Computation is one with plenty of references in OEIS - typically as Math. 
Comp. - and open archives up to five years ago).
