I don’t think changing target names every 2-3 years is a big workload. I know it’s not the most ideal case, but this is how things are done in Debian.
On the other side, we can forget things, it’s not a big problem in my eyes. Also, updating everything correctly while targeting “suites” in Debian is nice. Stable is released? Nice. Will move everything with a single apt-get.
I personally use “suites” rather than codenames for almost two decades now, and it’s a much nicer experience.
Cheers,

Ah, I forgot to change the symlinks when changing the configuration file.
This said, the links and configs are often outdated.
Please don't *ever* use keywords such as stable, oldstable or testing. Always use the proper codename, like buster, bullseye or the like. Unstable and sid are not moving targets, so both are fine, but everything else can vary in a bad way. Codenames are guaranteed to be stable, while keywords are moving targets.
Then I'd remove the links completely although this is not very Debianish. Or you keep the links and you will be remembered by a post on this mailinglist ;-)
