No.

We have discussed this kind of thing in the past and I think in principle
everyone can see the benefits.  In practice, separating the dependencies in
such a way as to make this happen, and keeping all the different module
versions properly synced, becomes difficult when the entire source base
moves so rapidly.  We used to split off various subprojects like base into
their own areas, and you could commit to one and then update the DEPS file
to pull your changes into the mainline.  This became horribly unwieldy, and
that was a couple years ago when the number of committers was far smaller.
