@Ermin: Well, but doesn't multi-dimensional exactly mean hierarchical
for a lot of different perspectives (e.g. age, segment, customer group,
product, divisions). This multifaceted perspective is poorly supported
by almost all ERP (including Odoo) but a prerequisite of erasing even
the last level of (visible) hierarchy.

@Nohmar: i don't have a use case the kills me so far, but we all
slowely but constantly move into such scenarios AND that is the point
that i exactly want to make. Innovation means not only discussing the
upsides of a change but also the possible downsides.

But to be closing, it seems that i am mostly alone with my fear so lets
stop the discussion for now (since i don't want to annoy you guys)

Have a nice weekend altogether
