I agree "thing" is rather vague, but in short I'd aim at their relation
and dependency. For example, the website and puppet have little to no
overlap. Most likely they'll have different maintainers and different
deployment methods.

Yes, most likely all our scripts will be embedded into our puppet repo.
If they would be widely used you could decide to split them out and
package them as an RPM.

Note that all of the above is traditionally more how you would develop
software, but a visible trend is to start treating infra more as
development which I see as a good thing. It also means it's still
relative young and I don't have that much experience with it so I really
appreciate requests to elaborate or, even better, comments where I could
do better. I make much of it up as I go along ;)
