IIRC yes, as long as the class file of your model is regular named 
("Model.php" and not "AbstractModel.php") and of course only as long as 
EVERY object fetched from the repository belongs to a STI type because 
you can't instantiate a abstract class as soon as the STI type is 
missing. But you could run into trouble with the propertyMapper if your 
"BaseModel" is a abstract class and STI can't apply to the incoming 
object data.

But as I said, I'm not entirely sure. I of course use STI but I didn't 
declare my BaseModels as abstract for some reason I can't remember now.
