Well, if we don`t keep setting parents in the create step and still support
the parent-child hierarcy option, this option becomes very misleading. What
I mean is that if you go some time with core.hierarchyMode=reference and at
some point you change it to core.hierarchyMode=parent (or whatever the
value is called), you will end up with tons of orphan documents.

Question 2: do we still want to enforce having a parent set in our build?

My preference would be to not enforce it anymore, however, for the same
reasons as above, you might have to... otherwise the
core.hierarchyMode=parent option will be misleading and might not behave as
expected.

+1 for handling (re-discussing) it in 8.x
