The problem with OpenStack Networking (or getting rid of codenames) is
seen with pre-incubation->incubation->integrated cycle.

A project cannot call itself "OpenStack Foo" until it actually _is_
openstack foo. So any new project by necessity has to start off as
something else.

But - if we then require them to drop that name and become openstack foo
when they become incubated or integrated, then we've got what's become a
stable project with a decent amount of contributors renaming itself.

Every. Time.

The code names aren't just cute. I kind of wish they were, because it
would make several things much easier if we could just ditch them and do
a pure openstack. code namespace. But the reality is that it gets really
really tricky to deal with a bunch of things if they go away.
