The problem here is that eclasses aren't clearly split between "utility" and "does stuff", so people are inheriting "does stuff" eclasses to get utilities. The fix is to stop having stupidly huge complicated eclasses; changing inherit behaviour is just wallpapering over the gaping hole. -- Ciaran McCreesh
