Hello All,

As Raphael said, we had tried but later dropped the idea of _inherits. I am not sure if even v6 supports _inherits on an _inherits table (product.product). Also there were several other bugs because of which we abandoned the idea. We were very much aware of this limitation but 1600 attributes is a lot for a magento implementation.

Probably, the best would be to follow EAV and then do the presentation magic in the views. Of course this would break backward compatibility. But, it would be easier to have migration scripts which support this transition than an _inherits transition.

@Raphael: Views please
