The problem here is that eclasses aren't clearly split between "utility" |
| 9 |
and "does stuff", so people are inheriting "does stuff" eclasses to |
| 10 |
get utilities. The fix is to stop having stupidly huge complicated |
| 11 |
eclasses; changing inherit behaviour is just wallpapering over the |
| 12 |
gaping hole. |
