I would modify this slightly. Larger organizations with independent teams may want to run on per-team repos. Conway's law is an observation about code structure but it sometimes also makes good practice for code organization. And of course, sometimes the smell is "this company is organized pathologically".
Another problem is that large monolithic repositories can be difficult to manage with currently available software. Git is no panacea and Perforce isn't either.
