Hi everyone, |

Currently, portage only allows single inheritance in profiles, but it's easy to enable multiple inheritance. In order to do this, we only need to unconstrain the number of parents allowed in the parent file (only 1 is currently allowed). When a parent file contains multiple parents, parents listed later if the file will have the ability to override those listed earlier in the file. |

Multiple inheritance seems like it would add useful flexibility to the profile structure. Should we remove the single inheritance constraint and allow multiple inheritance? |
