Suppose A is your system group, and C and D are individual RT workloads
or something.

Or suppose B has siblings and each group at that level is a delegate to
a particular user/container. And the user/container in B happens to need
2 partitioned VMs or whatever.

The idea is the same in all the examples, you want to allow
sub-partitions.
