Since we have consolidated ropensci packages under the organization account, do we then delete the original repos? Otherwise it can be confusing to have two or more copies that aren't in sync (since one would get updates but not the others).

The other danger is that someone could still be watching an older copy (e.g. schamberlain/dryad rather than ropensci/dryad).

When we first opened the org account, we forked everything over. We should have instead changed ownership (from the admin section). Now we have the ability to just change context (from personal account to org) and create new repos that way, which circumvents this issue in future. thoughts?
