Well look at it this way - it's already problematic ;-)  As with all 
things, we will rely on good sense and moderation.

One can also reason that the farther you nest, the less important the 
grouping becomes; after one or two levels of nesting, if such a resource 
ever even comes in to being, the UI hint could simply be "sort by group" 
and otherwise treat it as flat, which is no worse than the status quo 
today (and arguably slightly better).
