Pretty much, yes.

I don't understand the question. When? Where?

It's different, not really better. It's most appropriate when you
intend to move the "upstream" from elsewhere to elpa.git.

If you keep developing your package elsewhere, a "subtree" is indeed
more work than an "external".

1- Create the new externals/posframe branch on elpa.git
2- Then "git rm package/posframe" and change the ":subtree" to
a ":external" in "externals-list".
3- Then push those changes you created at step (2) to the `master` branch
of elpa.git.
That's pretty much it on your side (I'll probably have to do some clean
on elpa.gnu.org in response to that, tho I keep hoping that I finally
fixed the last issue in the scripts to handle this situation).
> what about create a subtree2external command?
The demand hasn't been very high, so I wouldn't bother, but fee free to
add one to elpa.git's "admin/" subdirectory.
