For reference, I'm fine with either outcome, I don't mind seeing an
occasional collision with subsystem trees, as they tend to be trivial
to resolve.

If you split a series to go through multiple git trees, you have to
ensure that both halves are actually regression free by themselves,
which typically ends up being much harder than fixing a small merge
conflict.
