Project Components Should have Sub Components

Project Components are main features of an application. They often have sub components. (Sub features). The current flat list approach means that sub features (normally nested) must be included into soemthing of a mile-high list of components. - Nesting sub components makes for easier sorting and reporting.

EXAMPLE: Let's say this aplication that does video editing. This might be a small subset of all the feaures.
