That's what I mean in fact: create sub team is fairly easy to do, we can
start very soon. Splitting the repos will require the cleanup in
internal interfaces, documentation and the other things that (while
important and needed anyway) will require probably one cycle, if not more.

This is great feedback. Maybe picking the leaders of the sub-teams based
on their communication skills and their understanding of the bigger
picture would help? How would you do things differently, based on your
experience?
