Of course you may ask!  And it's a great question!  But sadly the answer
is "no".  Unfortunately, Gerrit's support for renaming projects is not
very good (which is why we need to take downtime to do it).

I'm personally quite fond of stable URLs.  However, these started as an
"experiment" so we were bound to get some things wrong (and will
probably continue to do so) and it's better to try to fix them early.
