A concrete note about the status of model inheritance... I haven't really been advertising this, because I'm not sure when it will be ready, but I am working on making model inheritance work at the moment. It will be a week or two yet before I have anything to send in to the developer's list, because I am a bit busy in my Real Life at the moment -- like everybody else, it's just volunteer (but fun) work for me. It may take a little longer, depending upon how much time I have (I had hoped to have something a week ago, but other events interfered). I can't promise anything more solid than that, I'm sorry. This work is not completely trivial and there are a lot of curly corner cases, many of which are discussed in the Wiki page, some of which aren't. So please bear with us. Once I have the patch working, I will send it to the dev list, people with throw fruit at me and then we will try to work out the problems. The ranting doesn't help a lot.
