I think that setting up subteams is neccessary to stop us imploding but
I don't think it is enough. As long as we have one repo we're forever
going to have conflict & contention in deciding which features to accept,
which is a big factor in problems today. I favour the strong split of the
drivers into separate repositories to remove the contente between the
teams as much as is practical.
