Worth noting that it _used_ to have that functionality and it was dropped.

So the proposal is not to show them as really hierarchical, and not to add
any structurally new user-visible features[1] just to avoid repetition in
the comps file?
To me current comps is quite messy because everything has to be "flat"
which limits its flexibility in various ways.

Hi,
I would like to suggest the idea of adding support for
hierarchical comps groups to Fedora.

ie groups could require other groups not just packages;
at this time I don't think it would require any
