This is not a stupid question at all.
In fact we were discussing it a lot - also in the Phoenix team.
In FLOW3 we will be able to solve this issue with so called "mixins" 
once they're implemented.

In Extbase we won't have that feature. But if you only need the fields 
in the Backend & Templates there are possible work-arounds. See [1] for 
some infos and ideas we collected at the last DevDays.
