It does complicate things, no doubt about that, but it gives a nice
usecase, where we can account space of a subvolume and all of its
snapshots. The subvolumes can be freely grouped and accounted further,
the particular example are user home directories with snapshots. There
is a usecase for containers, where each root could replicate the same
subvolume structure and the the accounting can be done per container
and/or per group of containers.

IMHO there's not much difference code-wise if we allow more than one
level of the hierarchy, so it's basically flat vs hierarchical.
