Well, both proposals can be done : we can create subteams and the 
Subteam-Approval Gerrit label right know before Kilo, and we could split 
the virt repos by later once the interfaces and prereqs are done.

Having subteams would be even better for the virt split, as you could 
find whose halfcores (here, that's how I call subteam's people) are good 
for becoming virt cores once the repository is set up.
