Hi epoch, Which ticket are you referring to? We just moved alot of the tickets over to datamapper.lighthouseapp.com, so it's possible their statuses were changed accidentally.
Class Table Inheritance (CTI) is one of those things that's been discussed, but not implemented mostly because it's more difficult to get right than Single Table Inheritance (STI). There's also the issue of doing it in an adapter agnostic manner to work out, not only do we have to make sure it can work on different RDBMS, but we'd have to make sure it works for all adapters, which isn't an easy feat. With that said, I would love to see CTI supported at some point in the future. It would be extremely useful to have it so CTI can be done across different repositories. However, I can't see it happening before DM 1.0 tho given the amount of other things on our plate, but I think it would be worthwhile to consider it afterwards.
