Just easing the db restriction won't do much for the limit. There's a fair
bit of logic that operates under the assumption that this join is 1:1.

This is possible and why entity_credit_account->entity is a many to one
join. This isn't exposed to the UI in 1.3, but it is fully exposed to the
UI in 1.4 (you can open up a customer and add a vendor agreement).

I think we have some UI work to do but there's no *inherent* reason why you
can't have a customer eca attached to an employee person. Currently all
employees are assumed to be natural persons but that could be changed
relatively easily.
That's a UI issue though. We'd need to think about the best way to address
this. Right now we assume that entity class 3 persons are just employees
and nothing else. Again, that's what the UI supports, not what the db
supports.
A case where I could see "sub-company" logic being helpful would be if one
needed to track holding companies which might have various companies as
customers or vendors. I could see this being an issue for certain forms of
consulting. I don't know what we'd do about the UI though.
