The orginal idea, I think, was to ensure uniqueness. As set up its nothing more than a convention.
So you might have a com/mysite/mypackage and com/thatsite/package and org/anothersite/package. The basic premise is that since domain names are pretty unique this should ensure no collisions of packages. Of course in CF it works the same way - if you've got the run of the server. For shared environments it's a real CF (as in cluster f*ck) and there's still no recommended method for dealing with CFC mappings in such environments.
