None at all. I think the X task force works this way, for example.

Well, I was responding to this initive to organize the svn repo by discipline, 
and pointing out a different way to accomplish the same thing.  I don't really 
know why one wants to do this, this was my question below.

I think we are talking in orthogonal subspaces here ;-). My question
was about organizing the debian-science repository. I don't think a
very large number of science end-users will check packages out from
our repository.
