Also, another way to think of it is Orgs are essentially external to CPAN,
while projects are essentially internal.

For instance, P5P and Toolchain have influence on stuff on CPAN, but
they're not exactly namespaces or systems of specific named sets of code on
CPAN. There's no modules named "Toolchain" or "P5P"

Whereas all the examples of Projects listed lie firmly on perl module name
boundaries, Moose is a package name, and there are moose packages. DBIC is
essentially an abbreviation for a package name, and it pertains to specific
packages tailored to that package name.

That's a pretty distinct line. =)
