 Specifying a parent Theme in your Theme's style.css will make your Theme
 inherit all of the template files from that Theme — meaning that any
 template files in the child Theme's directory will be ignored.

 It would have been great if a child Theme could have the ability to
 override the parent Theme's template files - only inheriting template
 files that don't exist within the child Theme's directory.

 This change would make it easier to customize a theme while still being
 able to take  advantage of updates to the parent Theme without losing your
 beloved custom hacks.
