-------------------------------------

I'd like to log a request for you to consider keeping it, but leaving it deprecated. It has its uses, even with the above mentioned issues.

> The inheritance feature of the annotations is problematic as this only works reliable if the super class used at build time is the same as at run time. However at the point of descriptor generation this can't be ensured and therefore might lead to subtle problems.
> In addition, the DS spec decided against inheritance for the same reasons.
> Therefore it is advisable to remove this feature in the long run. As a first step we should log a warning if inheritance is used
