There isn't necessarily a clear distinction between parents
and siblings.
class A:
...
class B(A):

class C(A, B):

In C, is A a parent of B or a sibling of B?
For a super call in C, B is a sibling to A. For a super call in B, A is
a parent.
With the semantics I was suggesting if C calls super, but A doesn't then
B would still get called.
All the best,
