Comment (by knutsp):

 I may misunderstand this ticket, but:

 You can't change a child theme's parent with a great risk of either having
 fatal errors in functions.php, and the risk that the stylesheet selectors
 doesn't apply any more. Only very carefully crafted child themes may
 change parent. Those only contain standard WordPress actions and filters.
 Such actions should be put in a (network wide) plugin.

 WordPress should not encourage such possibly fatal actions, especially not
 network wide.
