Hi,

Generalizations are dangerous...

DBAL is based on XCLASS :-)

If there are no hooks available you're stuck with XCLASSes. Some XCLASS 
implementations are quite 'solid'. E.g. the new version starts or ends 
with a call to the parent.

Well, the XCLASS warning is not about the code relying on another class 
by XCLASSing that other class, it's about a missing or incorrect XCLASS 
"footer".
This is relevant to the developer (maybe a typo?). But IMO it is not 
relevant for the EM (but others disagree on this).
