It is very very easy to avoid breaking old links and refrain insulting non-English users.
A link to www.wikipedia.org will just land in the international portal page.
But a link to www.wikipedia.org/anything will be processed to land in en.wikipedia.org/anything.
I think it is a very nice idea that may content both those who are afraid to break old English links to .org and those who are legitimately offend an international project homepage link automatically to the English version. I personally recommend making this page an alphabetic list of link to local project, and only use automatic language detection algorithm to highlight the relevant choices.
