Creating a “Subgroup” within a Group of Contacts?

Is it possible to have a group inside of a group in Lync? I cannot seem to find a way to do it.



For example, I've got 5 groups, Project A, Project B, Project C, Project 1, Project 2.



Projects A-C are iOS & Android developers and I infrequently need to contact them. Projects 1 and 2 are desktop developers that I frequently contact and is fine as is.



Ultimately, I'd like Lync to look sort of like this:



 Project 1
Person One
Person Two
etc...
Project 2
Person One
Person Two
etc...
Mobile
Project A
Person One
Project B
Person Two
Project C
etc...


Then I could expand A, B, or C to see the members of those teams.



Basically, since it's just such a bloated-looking app I'm trying to minimize the amount of space consumed and since I won't frequently need the Mobile devs I don't need to see the groups all the time.

It's not possible - Microsoft in their wisdom decided on a flat model for the groups. Nesting is not allowed.



I know - it's rubbish isn't it?
