	// Potentially we can use subsystem trees for few important, well-maintained subsystems
	// (mm, net, etc). However, it will work poorly for all subsystems. First, there is no
	// machine-usable mapping of subsystems to repo/branch; second, lots of them are poorly
	// maintained (can be much older than latest RC); third, it will make artifact caching
	// much worse.
	// In the future we ought to support automated rebasing of patches to requested trees/commits.
	// We need it anyway, but it will also alleviate imperfect base commit picking.
