It's a neat example of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emergent_gameplay -- it's a trick that the developers didn't envision, but that has become popular among players. Just like "non-meta" strategies, there's almost always a way to counter them.

Good mafia roles will write fake wills, modifying them as necessary when the corresponding townies die. They'll keep a browser window open to the wiki, copying and pasting attributes as needed. And they'll make sure to go after Mayors (along with protective roles) to prevent role whispering from reaching a critical mass.
