I'm not sure, the components are tightly coupled and if one tree has
different parts deleted/replaced I'm not sure if this will leave the
trees in a compilable state. I think one tree will need to take all
the parts.

If it was just adding components then this wouldn't be needed, but
having old and new together may be a problem.
