If the projects are able to maintain themselves IMHO yes, as it is in my company organization.to mix & merge: they'll get lost without some proper identity. Do we want incubator or commons to contain that many projects? How many people will still have the overview?Or when they all become top level projects with no management container/grouping/clustinger - can the board maintain overview ?
I am the project manager here and have weekly meetings with 12 people, all from different work units; if they do their job well and just need to report, the meeting takes no more than 20 minutes. If they "whine" (yes, it happens ;-) then it can take more than the whole morning.
The board can always find a pattern in the problems and requests it recieves, and create groups that address these issues for them, like the infrastructure group or the incubator project.
Grouping IMHO makes sense, but not really from a management perspective, since projects can be part of many groups (ie cocoon=java+xml+...).
