Roles are going to get implemented as inheritance--so far I've seen no technical reason not to, and quite a number of reasons to do so. People can cope, if they're looking this deeply.
Out of curiosity, what are those reasons?
I'm not sure how you avoid the case where you accidentally inherit behavior from a parent role where you shouldn't, unless you set one bit that says "inherits" and another bit that says "but not really".
Unless I missed something, child classes inherit parent class roles, so if I have Foo with a role of X, and Bar inherits from Foo, Bar does the X role. Looks like inheritance to me...
