Comment (by Tim Graham):
I'm not sure if that's a good idea.
[https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/stable/topics/forms/modelforms/#form-
inheritance As the documentation says about Meta], "Normal Python name
resolution rules apply. If you have multiple base classes that declare a
Meta inner class, only the first one will be used. This means the child’s
Meta, if it exists, otherwise the Meta of the first parent, etc." There
was a [https://groups.google.com/d/topic/django-
developers/imjaHrfk6Eo/discussion slightly related thread] on django-
developers were it was discussed that model Meta inheritance should be
explicit rather than automatic. Can you think of any precedents in Django
where automatic merging similar to what you proposed takes place?
By the way, we're thinking about ways to replace `Media` with a better
solution, although no solution seems imminent (#22298).
