Moving on a bit wouldn't hurt anything, In fact, if they really insist on having two smash games there, Project M is better than Melee is, because it was supposed to be and it did it's job. Perhaps moving Melee out for it wouldn't be that big a deal.
Project M was really more about fixing Brawls problems. And Brawl has some incredibly huge problems with mechanics(tripping) and balancing(MetaKnight). They're still very different games. While Project M has been at a lot of majors, including EVO 2014, the game is stuck in a limbo of sorts.
Project M finally made Brawl competitive with fix and new additions, but the game is based on using modified hardware and software. Since Nintendo are now joining on the competitive fighting game scene, sponsoring tournaments with Project M makes Nintendo look bad. In a nutshell, Nintendo can't sponsor a fan made project that was created by exploiting vulnerabilities within the Wii/Wii U hardware and software. There'd be articles mocking Nintendo for years. As much as I love Project M and would like to see more of it, it's understandable that it doesn't show at tournaments if Nintendo are sponsoring it.
