I would say that the burden on the writer of the hierarchy is not that
much.
The real burder is on the *reader* of the code, which can get easily
confused from where methods are coming. This is way I usually do not
recommend MI: because of the reading and maintenance effort (see for
instance the nightmarish situation in Zope 2). To the OP I would
suggest to
consider containment instead, to consider using proxy objects,
__getattr__ and
other similiar tricks that usually do the job.
