AWS::Organizations::OU should have a "parent" attribute that could be !Ref myOtherOU and not necessarily the root OU.

Then we can deploy this with StackSets... and include another StackSet in it... and hey presto....

...SkyNet.

[kddejong]

yea agreed @rhboyd it should allow for either. I may have not worded that correctly.

From the documentation the ParentId can be either:
Root: a string that begins with "r-" followed by from 4 to 32 lower-case letters or digits.
Organizational unit (OU): a string that begins with "ou-" followed by from 4 to 32 lower-case letters or digits (the ID of the root that the OU is in) followed by a second "-" dash and from 8 to 32 additional lower-case letters or digits.
