Unrelated.

We simply want to import partial rules into multiple real tailorings, (a)
to avoid duplication and simplify maintenance and (b) save a bit of space
in the rule strings, for implementations that store them.

For example,
http://unicode.org/cldr/trac/browser/trunk/common/collation/ja.xml has two
tailorings with the same rules for Kana. We want to pull the Kana rules out
into a "private" set of rules that is then imported into those two
tailorings.
