Unfortunately, for performance and consistency, we have to drop this
feature on GitLab instances running MySQL. Subgroups will no longer be
available on MySQL in GitLab 9.3 and the upgrade process will migrate any

While investigating some occurrences of inconsistencies with project
membership, we [discovered](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/30472#note_27747600)
that our approach to implementing subgroups was
not efficient. While PostgreSQL provides easy workarounds, MySQL
not efficient enough. While PostgreSQL provides easy workarounds, MySQL
unfortunately did not provide any alternatives that did not require vastly

In order to quickly address the issue, we have removed support from
subgroups in 9.3.
Subgroups in 9.3.
 
If you are running on MySQL and have created subgroups in your GitLab
instance, the upgrade process will convert any subgroups to regular groups.
