The reason nested DAGS is out of the question is because the jobs might be submitted by different users at different times and a "superuser" should decide afterwards that job B, C and D must run after job A completes. But it is not yet known at submit time.
Okay, that rules out nested DAGs.I suspect that you could do something with group quotas, but a lot depends on how flexible you have to be. It might not be better than just monitoring things with a script like you're already doing.
