That wiki entry is just some random person's opinion, it's not
project policy.
Having said that, the partitioning feature is approaching the
point of being mature enough to recommend to novices, so maybe
we should start thinking about adjusting the tutorial with that
in mind. I wouldn't necessarily remove the inheritance section;
it's talking about OOP-style inheritance, which you can't get
with partitioning.
