But you get a warning during pulls and pushes that you should update your URL.</p>
<p dir="auto" style="color: #28272d; margin: 0 0 16px;" align="initial">That's for git projects and some other parts (like users). But it's not true for example for API calls, CODEOWNER files, includes in the CI scripts and similar:</p>

<p dir="auto" style="color: #28272d; margin: 0;" align="initial">Beneath that, there is also a potential attack surface: If a top level group is renamed, an attacker could create a new user with that name and take over the namespace with that. Even if it is discovered quickly, it will destroy the old namespace.</p>
