Some regressions can't be easily associated with an "area".  And when
they can, consider the overhead involved with frequently kicking out
patchsets and taking them in again, based on when regressions become
known and when they are fixed, respectively.

To create such a motivation, that branch or tree would have to have a
practical use in development.  So what purpose would such a tree
fulfill, considering that we already have a myriad of topic trees and
the -mm tree for testing and preintegration?
