"Since we don't have the control on the order in which the inheritance chain is build by odoo when two modules extends the same one"

this is definitly a missing "feature" in the new api

IMO, we should disallow this kind of 'full' override without call to super. This kind of override breaks the inheritance chains. Since we don't have the control on the order in which the inheritance chain is build by odoo when two modules extends the same one, this kind of override will silently break some functionalities. IMO it's better to make a PR to Odoo to improve the modularity of the method to extend an base the new method on this PR.

Please take care to clearly indicate why you are doing this in the code 
comments of your module, and explain in the README that your module is 
incompatible with other modules which change the same method.
Ideally, you could also make a PR for Odoo master to add the "hooks" you 
miss, so that in the next version you remove the limitation from your 
module.
