[Ontology-editors] organization, biogenesis etc

Disassembly is a normal process. For example, it happens all the time at 
the ends of actin filaments and microtubules.

You don't say how you wish to define organization. that would be helpful 
for thinking about whether 'disassembly' should be part of 'organization'. 
In the context of disassembly of actin filaments or microtubules, I might 
think that 'disassembly' isn't an organizing process, but a deorganizing 
one, with respect to the monomers, anyway.
