Which is kind of the point: you shouldn't worry about stuff like what I
wrote there until you need it. Even then, projects don't get renamed
that often. People get very hung up on "best practices" or doing things
the way everybody else is. Fact is, there's nothing particularly wrong
with using a project directory or even the project name, providing
things remain within that namespace. A large portion of code that's
written isn't going to be reusable apps -- they'll be apps for a
particular project. Maybe later they'll move around, but, often as not,
they won't.

The best condition to be in is to understand the choices you're making
and know why you're making them. Then you have options down the track.
