maxime.dubois> I have 3 CAs: 1 rootCA and two sub CAs (subCA1 and subCA2) signed by 
rootCA.
maxime.dubois> The CDP in subCA1 and subCA2 certs points to the rootCA CRL.
maxime.dubois> The CDP in end-user certs issued by one subCA points to the subCA CRL.
maxime.dubois> Do I need to point also to the rootCA CRL for end-user certs?

No.  The software that wants to do path validation will do a separate
check of the subCA certificates, and will then look at the rootCA
CRL.
