[Ontology-editors] question about cellular component organization (from bp-xp-cc evaluation)

[Jane Lomax]

I was actually going to suggest we made this change (i.e. move cellular 
component organization and cellular component biogenesis directly under 
biological process) too recently, because I wanted to add a MOP term 
somewhere underneath.

Can't remember what the term was, or what became of it though! I'll see 
if I can find it.
