I considered that, but "gentoo bsd", "gentoo elections", "gentoo
crypto" all show the respective project pages very highly in the
search results, even without "Gentoo [Linux]" in their names.
Also, even for projects with Gentoo in the name I'm not sure that it
helps. For instance if I google "gentoo alpha" I get the appropriate
project page as the second result (after the handbook link), but the
title of the page is "Project:Alpha - Gentoo Wiki" and not the name of
the project ("Gentoo Linux Alpha Development") and that name text
doesn't show up as any of the abbreviated search results. I don't
think the name is used for much except for the top of the box on the
right side of the project page and on user pages.
