Why would bug links be broken? Well, if we adopted Joey's proposal and renamed launchpad to launchpad-core, and launchpad-project to launchpad, every extant link of the form <https://launchpad.net/launchpad/+bug/nnn> would return a 404, for the same reason as <https://launchpad.net/launchpad-project/+bug/91013> returns a 404 today.

Other than banishing the "Malone" and "Rosetta" brand names, is there any actual problem that would be solved by renaming the projects? I know there are many problems with the current project structure (extra duplicate bug reports from people looking in the wrong project, difficult to set up and use milestones, impossible to link blueprints in different projects, problems with linking branches, etc), but I don't think any of them would be fixed or even improved by renaming.
