How do the users know (and ensure) that they're really the same ?

Making copies like that, encourage per-project customisation of same-named 
things, doesn't it ?

In some sense, the examples/ folder of GridFlow can be thought as a big 
directory of projects sharing common abstractions and externals. So, in a 
sense, I'm doing that already.

To me, it's a form of packaging based on shared dependencies : things get 
distributed as a single package because they have a lot of dependencies 
with each other and/or in common (and there's not enough of a rationale to 
split the package). In GridFlow's case, it's also a form of packaging 
based on authorship : lots of things get put together because they share 
the same author (or by members of a same team, official or not).
