another one that comes to mind is concrete-table inheritance; it works in simple cases and breaks in more complex ones. While using dbcook i have invented some way of avoiding it, by having base-classes that define attributes/relations but are not ORMapped (DBCOOK_no_mapping=True) - but then the ORM has no idea of that inheritance _at_all. the other way is "dont use", use joined-table-inheriance. do u have any plans for fixing that? i'm not really needing it - this is for consistency.

concrete should always be improved as needed. unlike entity_name, it is a real use case without any simpler substitute. i dont think concrete's issues are as severe, either.
