Rename is not easily possible.
We have to delete project and create (and build) new one with the same
package set.

So it might be better to name them:
GNOME_2_16 (or GNOME216, GNOME_2_16_OPT,...)
GNOME_2_18 (or GNOME218)
and GNOME_2_20 for GNOME 2.19 - if anybody will want to follow its
development, simply subscribe and once it will become stable and frozen.
I don't know, whether BS supports symlinks to projects to provide
GNOME:STABLE (recommended stable branch) and GNOME:UNSTABLE.

opt_gnome-compat works well and I am using 10.2+GNOME2.18 without any
problems. That is why the repository is so large.
