Do you think that is really enough? That kind of thinking could lead people to link https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/dapper/+source/bazaar to https://launchpad.net/bzr. Even before the bazaar confusion, I wrote a program with the same initials as Fully Automated Installer. > I do not think permission is or ever was the issue. The impression I got from you was that that people who didn't know enough were creating the links. So I think it's reasonable to restrict it to people who should know enough. > A human can make a mistake.

That sounds like a corner case. They would be sabotaging their own project by doing so. Is really something we need to worry about? > We can solve this by sanity checks. We expect to include setting up the branch as part of translation configuration, so sanity checks that require checking the content of the branch are problematic.
