After a rename the old link will stay as a redirect and won't change for 
a long time (at least several years) to give people time to attune to 
the new code. I think, everybody agrees on that.

For some years 'no' would be a redirect just as 'nb' is a redirect to 
'no' now. When in several years the new code is generally accepted and 
used by everyone only some links from very old webpages will point to 
'no'. 'no' could then turn into a page saying "Bokmal Wikipedia is 
hosted under nb, please update your links. You will be redirected in a 
few seconds." and after yet another year or so it will become a portal 
linking to all Norwegian projects. It won't be an abrupt or disruptive 
change.
