I'd prefer not to do next trees unless it's for a clear subsystem that
already exists and will continue to exist.

If someone wants to be a CPU subsystem maintainer, that's great, and we
can keep the tree open regardless of the release.  But just having a
temporary tree for 3 weeks is more pain than it's worth.
