"You never know one day you might decide on a better $wgSitename.."
"Indeed, you might even decide to change the $wgLanguageCode.."
"Or I am editing on somebody else's wiki, and their $wgSitename is just too
darn hard to type in."

Seems that the usage of some abstractions like $wgSiteMetaname and
$wgSiteMetanameToken could allow for certain degrees of freedom. "Project"
would be the default, and most would leave the default alone and thus not break
compatibility. Certain narrow-use solo projects (like Wikipedia) could then use
"Project" for its publically "canonical" meaning, rather than defer to the
limitations imposed by its "canonical" hard-coded usage in private code. I'm
still not clear what poor coding habits specifically would make this
undesirable on WikiMedia wikis. That question at least would seem to fit within
Bugzilla's mandate. :)
