+1.  I already love our breadcrumbs.

The one place where they don't work so well is when there's more than  
one path from the root to where you are.  A good example are  
branches.  Should the breadcrumb lead through the project or through  
the user?  Yes and no <wink> depending on context that Launchpad can't  
know anything about.  I'd love to have a ui solution for that.
