Creating projects without thought as to whether or not the project should
be created, rather than suggesting a user use an already existing project
is a problem. Projects can't be deleted or renamed very easily and they do
add overhead in a number of things: more LDAP entries, more posix groups,
more projects to look at when looking for already existing projects for
people to join, more nfs/gluster volumes, etc..

The project backlog often isn't terrible and we very often see that
projects shouldn't be created, but instead people should join projects like
tools or that new projects that make things easier should be created.
