IMHO it is good to collect what exactly are 'all the needs' related to
inherits?

* My most important need for inherits is the possibility of easy
  specialization of a view.
* The specialization of the model is not important for me, since it
  can be replaced by many2one.
* The shorter name space is not important to me. E.g. Writing 
  'company.addresses' instead of using the full
  name space 'company.party.addresses'.

Which other needs we have related to inherits?

Here the specialization of party view is very handy. The company view is
like '90%' identical to the party view plus some special fields. 
Is it possible to rebuild this view without inherits?
Or is the only way to rebuild the view with function fields that collect
data from other models?
