You shouldn't need to get rid of inheritence, just only build the
common root (which I thought you were doing anyway).

Note that this doesn't affect m2 at all as the parents are referenced
from the repository, not the file system.

Certainly a feature for Continuum 1.1.

I don't think flattening is a good goal, its an important tool in
factoring the build correctly.
