I think the fact that we'll be announcing new releases by pointing
to other URLs (the releases site, for example) will help avoid that
sort of confusion. You could also add a note to the top of the project
page on launchpad.

If, over time, we see a lot of folks actually confused about the
move we can figure out a way to migrate the old data elsewhere so
it can be deleted. But that's not going to happen this cycle, so
please leave it intact for now.
